Romeo and Juliet

A love struck Romeo, sings the streets a serenade,
Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made.
Finds a street light, 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 at people like that.
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start,
And I bet, then you exploded in my heart,
And I forget, I forget, the movie song.
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
Come up on different streets, they both the streets of shame,
Both dirty, both mean, yes 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
Now you just say "Oh Romeo, yeah, you know 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 till 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?
I can't do the talk, like they talk on the 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.
I can't do anything except 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, and bad company.
All I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme,
Juliet I'd do the stars with you, anytime.
Juliet when we made love you used to cry,
You said, "I love you like the stars above I'll love you till 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?
And a love struck Romeo, sings the streets a serenade.
Now he's laying everybody low, with a love song that he made.
Finds a convenient street light, steps out of the shade
And says something like "You and me, babe. How about it?"
