"Romeo and Juliet" by Edwin McCain

see love struck Romeo hit the street on a serenade 
and he's laying everybody low with a love song that he made 
he finds a streetlight steps out of the shade 
says something like "you and me baby how about
it?" 
Juliet's gonna say "hey it's Romeo you nearly gimme a
heart attack"
he's underneath my window she's singing "hey la my
boyfriend's back"
you shouldn't come around here singing up to people like
that 
well anyway what you gonna do about it? 
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry 
you said you love me like the stars above you'd love me till
you died
Well there's a place for us and you know the movie song 
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong? 
we both came up on different streets they both were streets
of shame 
both dirty both mean and the dream was just the same 
and I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real 
how can you look at me as if I was just another one of your
deals? 
Oh no you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for
chains of gold 
you can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold

you promised me everything you know you promised me thick
and thin 
Now you say "oh Romeo yeah I used to have a scene with
him"
Oh Juliet when we made love you used to cry 
used to swear like the stars above well you'd love me till
the day that we died

Well there's a place for us you know the movie song 
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong? 
I can't do the talk like they talk on TV 
and I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be 
I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you 
Juliet all I can do is be in love with you 
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be 
all I do is keep the beat in this rock n roll company 
all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme 
Juliet I'd do the stars with you any time 
Oh Juliet when we made love you used to cry 
used to swear like the stars above well you'd love me till
the day that we died

there's a place for us you know the movie song 
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong? 
See a love struck Romeo hit the street on a serenade 
laying everybody low with a love song that he made 
finds a streetlight steps out of the shade 
says something like "you and me baby how about it?
You and me baby, now how about it? 
You and me baby, now how about it?"
well Juliet the dice were loaded from the start 
and I bet and you exploded through my heart 
well there's a place for us you know the movie song 
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong? 
yeah now Juliet the time was wrong 
oh I know the time was wrong yeah 
the time was wrong 
yea and I know the time was wrong yeah
