Lyrics

A lovestruck Romeo
Sang the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low
With a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight
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 the window
She's singing "hey la, boyfriend's back"
You shouldn't come around here
Singing up at people like that
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?

Juliet
The dice was loaded from the start
And I bet
And you exploded into my heart
I forget, I forget
The movie song
When you gonna realize it was just the time was wrong?
Juliet

Come up on different streets
Thy both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean
Yes, and the dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you
And now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver
You can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers
And the promises they hold
You promised me everything
You promised me thick and thin, yeah!

Now you just say "oh Romeo, yeah,
you know I used to have a scene with him"

Juliet
When we made love, you used to cry
You said "I'll 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 gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?
Juliet

And I can't do the talk
Like they talk on TV
And I can't do a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything, but I do anything for you
I can't do anything except being in love with you

And all I do is miss you
And 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 rhyme
Julie, I'd do the stars with you any time

Juliet
When we made love, you used to cry
You said "I'll 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 gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong?
Juliet

And a lovestruck Romeo
He sang the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low
With a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight
Steps out of the shade, says something like
"you and me babe, how about it?"

You and me babe, how about it?
