Matt Nathanson - Romeo And Juliet lyrics

A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsus serenade Layin' everybody low With a love song that he made Finds a street light Steps out of the shade And 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 my window She's singing, hey la my boyfriend's back Shouldn't come around here, singing up to people like that Anyway, what you gonna do about it?" Juliet The dice were loaded from the start And I bet and you exploded into 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 But they're both the streets of shame Both dirty, both mean Yeah even the dream was just the same And I dreamed your dream for you And now your dream is real So how can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals? And you can fall for chains of silver And you can fall for chains of gold You can fall for pretty strangers And the promises they hold And you promised me everything Yeah you promised me thick and thin Now you just turn away and say Romeo, yeah you know I used to have a scene with him And Juliet When we made love you used to cry You said I'll love you like the stars above I'm gonna love you til I die And I forget, I forget The movie song When are you gonna realize It was just that the time was wrong Juliet... And I can't do the talk Like the talk on the TV And I can't do a love song Like the way it's meant to be All I can 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'll love you like the stars above I'll love you til I die You said there's a place for us You know the movie song When you gonna realize, it was just that the timing was wrong Juliet... A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsus serenade He's laying everybody low With a love song that he made Finds a street light Steps out of the shade And says something like You and me babe, how about it?
