Matt Nathanson - Romeo And Juliet LYRICS

MaTT NathanSon

"RomeO & Juliet

A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets his serenade
He's laying everyboday low
With a love song that he made
Finds a street light
Steps out of the shades
And says something like
"You and me babe how about it?"

Juliet says "Hey it's Romeo!
He nearly gave me a heart attack...
He's underneath my window
She's singing, hey love (?) my boyfriend's back
Shouldn't come around here, singing up to people like that
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"

Juliet
I swear the lord you're from the stars
And I bet
That 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
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 you dream's 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

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 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 balls of a rhyme
Julie

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
Said there's a place for us
When you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong...

A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets his serenade
He's laying everyboday low
With a love song that he made
Finds a street light
Steps out of the shades
And says something like
"You and me babe how about it?"
