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
