Love Story (Taylor’s Version)

[00:16.28] We were both young when I first saw you
[00:20.10] I close my eyes and the flashback starts
[00:23.98] I'm standing there
[00:26.68] On a balcony in summer air
[00:32.05] See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
[00:36.24] See you make your way through the crowd
[00:40.09] And say, "Hello"
[00:42.94] Little did I know
[00:48.01] That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
[00:52.19] And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
[00:55.85] And I was crying on the staircase
[00:58.62] Begging you, "Please don't go"
[01:02.92] And I said
[01:04.45] "Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
[01:08.78] I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
[01:12.74] You'll be the prince, and I'll be the princess
[01:16.88] It's a love story, baby, just say yes"
[01:21.77]
[01:24.54] So I sneak out to the garden to see you
[01:28.74] We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
[01:32.79] So close your eyes
[01:35.49] Escape this town for a little while, oh, oh
[01:39.95] 'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
[01:44.74] And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
[01:48.31] But you were everything to me
[01:50.93] I was begging you, "Please don't go"
[01:55.46] And I said
[01:56.95] "Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
[02:01.15] I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
[02:05.10] You'll be the prince, and I'll be the princess
[02:09.16] It's a love story, baby, just say yes"
[02:13.21] Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
[02:17.29] This love is difficult, but it's real
[02:21.16] Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
[02:25.69] It's a love story, baby, just say yes
[02:29.97]
[02:31.98] Oh, oh-oh
[02:35.72]
[02:44.42] I got tired of waiting
[02:48.42] Wondering if you were ever comin' around
[02:51.97] My faith in you was fading
[02:57.26] When I met you on the outskirts of town
[03:00.44] And I said
[03:01.56] "Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
[03:05.41] I keep waiting for you, but you never come
[03:09.56] Is this in my head? I don't know what to think"
[03:13.08] He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
[03:17.06] And said
[03:17.85] "Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
[03:21.53] I love you, and that's all I really know
[03:25.64] I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
[03:29.70] It's a love story, baby, just say yes"
[03:36.48] Oh, oh-oh
[03:40.54] Oh, oh-oh, oh
[03:45.39] 'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
[03:50.13]
