This is a story 'bout a boy and a girl,
Tryin' find a life in the big world,
Somehow they're together.
There ain't much to the mystery,
Misery loves company,
She just waves her hand and says whatever,
Well this ain't love, this ain't love,
This ain't love at all, and he says...
We're not Romeo, we're not Juliet,
How long does it take, to fill this emptyness,
We're just two lost souls and baby we got no regrets,
We don't wanna say bye-bye,
Babe it's just you and I,
We're not Romeo - we're not Juliet.
He ain't pretty with his hard old heart,
Second generation immigrant scars,
And he knows that this ain't heaven, no.
She's all skinny like a cigarette,
And he's the only thing - the only thing that she respects,
And he's trying to make it better,
This ain't love, this ain't love,
This ain't love at all, and she says...
We're not Romeo we're not Juliet,
You'd thought you'd seen it all - but you ain't seen nothin' yet,
We're just two lost souls and baby we got no regrets,
Now it's just you and I,
We're nothin' unless we try,
We're not Romeo - not Juliet.
It has to feel right but it never does,
It has to be perfect but it never is,
You wanna be sure but you never do,
We're not Romeo or Juliet - it's just me and you.
We're just two lost souls and baby we got no regrets,
We don't wanna say bye-bye,
Babe it's just you and I,
We're not Romeo,
We're not Juliet,
No, no, no,
We're not Romeo, we're not Juliet,
Oh, how long does it take to fill this emptyness,
We're just two lost souls and baby we got no regrets.
Now it's just you and I,
We're nothin' unless we try - oh no,
We're not Romeo or Juliet,
No we're not - that's a fact.
