Indigo Girls: Romeo & Juliet

A love struck Romeo sings the streets a serenade He's laying everybody low He's got a love song that he made He finds a convenient streetlight and he 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" Yeah well, he's underneath the window now she's singing, "Hey, la, my boyfriend's back You shouldn't come around here singing up to people like that" Oh anyway whatcha gonna do about it? Juliet The dice were loaded from the start And I bet and you exploded into my heart And I forgit, I forget the movie song Now when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Julie We both come up on different streets And they both were streets of shame Both dirty both mean Yes and even the dreams were the same Well I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real So tell me honey Now how can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals Now you can fall for chains of silver And you can fall for chains of gold You fall for pretty strangers And the promises they hold Well you promised me everything and then you promised me thick and thin But now you just turn away and you say, "Romeo, I think I used to have a scene with him Oh Juliet When we made love you used to cry You said "I love you like the stars above Gonna love you till I die" There's a place for us I know you know this song Now when you gonna realize It was just that the time was wrong Julie I'm so in love But I can't do the talk like they talk on my TV screen I can't do a love song not the way you sung it to me I can't do everything but I would do anything for you Ah no I can't do anything except be in love with you...yeah Now all I do is miss you And the way it used to be And all I do is keep the beat I keep bad, bad company And all I do is kiss you Through the bars of this rhyme When Julie, I'd do the stars with you Anytime Oh Juliet When we made love I used to cry I said I'll love you like the stars above I'm gonna love you till I die There's a place for us I know you know the movie song One day we're gonna realize It was just that the time was wrong Julie Julie Julie Now this love struck Romeo he sings the streets a serenade He's laying everybody low he's got a love song that he made And he finds a convenient streetlight and he'll step out of the shade and he'll say something like "You and me, babe, how about it?"
