Romeo and Juliet - Edwin Mccain

See love struck Romeo hit the street on a serenade

And he’s laying everybody low with a love song that he made

He finds a streetlight steps out of the shade

Says something like «you and me baby how about it?»

Juliet’s gonna say «hey it’s Romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack»

He’s underneath my window she’s singing «hey la my boyfriend’s back»

You shouldn’t come around here singing up to people like that

Well anyway what you gonna do about it?

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry

You said you love me like the stars above you’d love me till you died

Well there’s a place for us and you know the movie song

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?

We both came up on different streets they both were 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?

Oh no 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 know you promised me thick and thin

Now you say «oh Romeo yeah I used to have a scene with him»

Oh Juliet when we made love you used to cry

Used to swear like the stars above well you’d love me till the day that we died

Well there’s a place for us you know the movie song

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?

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’d do anything for you

Juliet all I can do is be 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 in this rock n roll company

All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme

Juliet I’d do the stars with you any time

Oh Juliet when we made love you used to cry

Used to swear like the stars above well you’d love me till the day that we died

There’s a place for us you know the movie song

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?

See a love struck Romeo hit the street on 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 baby how about it?

You and me baby, now how about it?

You and me baby, now how about it?»

Well Juliet the dice were loaded from the start

And I bet and you exploded through my heart

Well there’s a place for us you know the movie song

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?

Yeah now Juliet the time was wrong

Oh I know the time was wrong yeah

The time was wrong

Yea and I know the time was wrong yeah
