A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsus serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he play
Finds a convenient 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, my boyfriend's back.
You shouldn't come around here, singing up to people like that...
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet when you exploded into my heart
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
They come up on different streets, both were the streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, 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
And I say, "Oh Romeo? Yeah, I used to have a scene with him"
Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til 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?
Juliet, oh, Juliet...
