Love Story (Taylor’s Version)

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
See the lights see the party
the ball gowns
See you make your way
through the crowd
And 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
'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town
for a little while oh oh
'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 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
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
Oh oh
And 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 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
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
'Cause we were both young
when I first saw you
