Love Story Lyrics - Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I’m standing there on a balcony of summer air

I see the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello, little did I know…

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet”
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don’t go…and I said…

Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone
I’ll be waiting, all there’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, because we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes, escape 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 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 kneels to the ground and pulled out a ring and said

Marry me Juliet, you’ll never have to be alone
I love you, and that’s all I really know
I talked to your dad, you’ll pick out the white dress
It’s a love story, baby just say, yes…
We were both young when I first saw you.
