[00:12.985] A love-struck Romeo
[00:15.398] sings a streetsuss a serenade,
[00:18.696] laying everybody low
[00:21.671] with a love song that he made.
[00:25.133] Finds a convenient streetlight,
[00:27.275] steps out of the shade,
[00:29.428] says something like,
[00:31.680] "You and me babe...how about it?”
[00:37.088] Juliet says,
[00:37.704] “Oh it's Romeo,
[00:39.890] nearly gave me a heart attack.
[00:43.061] He's underneath the window,"
[00:45.435] singing, "Hey, now, my boyfriend's back.
[00:49.546] You shouldn't come around here,
[00:51.131] singing up at people like that.
[00:54.030] Anyway what you gonna do about it?”
[01:00.161] "Juliet,
[01:03.104] the dice was loaded from the start.
[01:07.349] And I bet,
[01:08.427] you exploded into my heart.
[01:11.221] I forget, I forget the movie song.
[01:18.368] When are you gonna realize
[01:20.362] it was just that the time was wrong,
[01:23.408] Juliet?
[01:36.216] Come up on different streets,
[01:38.388] they both were streets of shame
[01:41.159] both dirty, both mean.
[01:43.949] Yeah, but the dream was just the same.
[01:47.229] And I dreamed your dream for you.
[01:49.414] And now your dream is real,
[01:53.428] how can you look at me
[01:54.713] as if I was just another one of your deals?
[01:57.644] When you can fall for chains of silver,
[02:01.661] you can fall for chains of gold.
[02:04.430] You can fall for pretty strangers
[02:07.149] and the promises they hold.
[02:10.487] You promised me everything,
[02:12.635] Yeah ,you promised me thick and thin.
[02:14.807] Well, now you just say,
[02:17.244] "Oh Romeo, yeah. you know I used to have a scene with him.”
[02:20.648] Juliet,
[02:23.592] when we made love you used to cry,
[02:26.543] said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die.”
[02:31.851] There's a place for us, and all the movie song.
[02:38.770] When are you gonna realize
[02:40.830] it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
[02:56.346] I can't do the talk
[02:59.208] like they talk on the TV.
[03:02.493] And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be.
[03:09.048] I can't do everything,
[03:10.610] but I'll do anything for you.
[03:14.870] I can't do anything,
[03:16.984] but be in love with you.
[03:20.808] And all I do is miss you
[03:23.521] and the way we used to be.
[03:26.910] And all I do is keep the beat,
[03:29.998] the bad company.
[03:33.068] And all I do is kiss you
[03:35.917] through the bars of a rhyme.
[03:39.090] Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time.
[03:43.811] Juliet, when we made love you used to cry.
[03:49.529] You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die.”
[03:54.766] There's a place for us,
[03:58.885] you know the movie song.
[04:02.431] When are you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong,
[04:07.318] Juliet?
