Romeo And Juliet

A love struck Romeo singing streets of serenade.
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made.
He finds a street light steps out of the shade.
Says something like “You and me babe how about it?”

Juliet says “Hey it’s Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack.
He’s underneath my window.” She says “Hey la, my boyfriend’s back.
You shouldn’t come around here singing up at people like that.
Anyway what you’re gonna do about it.”

“Juliet the dice were loaded from the start.
And I bet and you exploded in my heart.
I forget I forget the movie song.
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?”

We come up on different streets they both were streets of shame.
Both dirty both mean but the dream’s the same.
I dream your dream for you and now your dream is real.
How can you look at me if I was just one of your deals.
You can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold.
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises the hold.
You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin.
Now you just say “Romeo Oh yeah I used to have a scene with him.”

Chorus:
Juliet when we made love you used to cry.
You said “I love you like the stars above I’ll love you till I die.”
There’s a place for us you know the movie song.
When you’re gonna realize that the time was wrong, Juliet?

I can’t do the talk like they talk on the tv.
I can’t sing a love song like a love song’s suppost to be.
I can’t do everything but I’d do anything for you.
I can’t do anything except be in love with you.
All I do is miss you the way we used to be.
All I do is keep the beat and bad company.
All I do is kiss you through the bars of this rhyme.
Juliet I’d do the stars for you anytime.

Chorus

A love struck Romeo singing streets of serenade.
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made.
He finds a convenient street light steps out of the shade.
Says something like “You and me babe how about it.
You and me babe how about it, Juliet?”
