Love Story

by Taylor Swift


We were both young, when I first saw you.
I closed my eyes, and the flashback starts
I'm standing there.
On the balcony in summer air.

See the lights
see the party
the ball gowns
see you make your way through the crowd, and say hello.
Little did I know...

That you were Romeo you were throwing pebbles.
and my Daddy said to stay away from Juliet.
And I was crying on the stair case, begging you please don't go.
And I said Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby just say yes.

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew,
so close your eyes.
lets leave this town for a little while.

Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter, and my daddy said stay away from Juliet.
But you were everything to me, I was begging you please don't go.
And I said Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting all that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby just say yes.
Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
this love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby just say yes.

I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was, fading
when I met you on the outskirts of town.

And I said, Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting, for you but you never come.
Is this in my head?
I don't know what to think.
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring,

and said, marry me Juliet.
You never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I've talked to your dad you'll pick out a white dress.
It's a love story baby just say, yes.
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
