Romeo And Juliet Lyrics

    A love struck Romeo
    Sings the streets a serenade
    Now he's laying everybody low
    He's got a love song that he made
    He finds a convenient streetlight
    And he steps out of the shade
    And says something like
    "You and me, babe, how about it?"

    Juliet says "Hey, it's Romeo!"
    "you nearly give me a heart attack!"
    Yeah well, he's underneath the window
    Now she's singing "Hey-la, my boyfriend's back"
    "you shouldn't come around here
    Singing up at people like that
    Ah anyway, whatcha gonna do about it?"

    Juliet
    The dice were loaded from the start
    And I bet and you exploded into my heart
    And I forget, I forget the movie song
    When you gonna realize
    It was just that the time was wrong
    Julie

    We both come up on different streets
    And they were both the streets of shame
    You know they're both dirty both mean
    Yes and even the dreams were the same
    And I dreamed your dream for you
    And now your dream is real
    So tell me honey
    Now how can you look at me
    As if I was just another one of your deals

    Now you can fall for chains of silver
    And you can fall for chains of gold
    You know you fall for pretty strangers
    And the promises they hold
    Well you promised me everything
    And then you promised me thick and thin
    Now you just turn away and say
    "Romeo, I think I used to have a scene with him."

    Oh, Juliet
    When we made love you used to cry
    You said "I love you like the stars above
    Gonna love you till I die"
    There's a place for us
    I know you know this song
    Now when you gonna realize
    It was just that the time was wrong
    Julie

    But I can't do the talks like they talk on my TV screen
    I can't do a love song not the way you sung to me
    I can't do everything but I would do anything for you
    Oh no, I can't do anything except be in love with you

    Yeah now and all I do is miss you
    And the way it used to be you know
    And all I do is keep the beat
    I keep bad, bad company
    And all I do is kiss you
    Through the bars of this rhyme
    When Julie, I'd do the stars with you
    Anytime

    Oh, Juliet
    When we made love you used to cry
    You said "I love you like the stars above
    I'm gonna love you till I die"
    There's a place for us
    I know you know the movie song
    One day we're gonna realize
    It was just that the time was wrong
    Julie
    Julie
    Julie

    Now this love struck Romeo
    He sings the streets a serenade
    Now he's laying everybody low
    He's got a love song he made
    He finds a convenient streetlight
    And he steps out of the shade
    And he says something like
    "You and me, babe, how 'bout it?"
