Lirik Love Story
Verse 1
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I’m standing there
On a balcony in summer air
Verse 2
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, “Hello”
Little did I know
Pre-Chorus 1
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…
Chorus 1
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”
Verse 2
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet ’cause we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while, oh, oh
Pre-Chorus 2
‘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….
*balik ke chorus 1*
Chorus 2
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”
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh
Bridge
But 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….
Chorus 3
“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 knelt 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, go pick out a white dress
It’s a love story, baby, just say ‘Yes'”
Outro
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
‘Cause we were both young when I first saw…. You
