F C Dm C F A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade F C Dm A# Laying everybody low with a love song that he made C F Finds a convenient street light, steps out of the shade A# C Says something like you and me babe, how 'bout it? Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gimme a heart attack" He's underneath the window She's singing, "Hey la, my boyfriend's back You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that Anyway, what ya gonna do about it?" Chorus: F C Dm A# Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start F C Dm A# And I bet, and you exploded in my heart F A# Dm A# And I forget, I forget the movie song Gm A# Dm C F When you gonna realize its just that the time was wrong, Juliet? Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame Both dirty, both mean, yes 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 I was just another one of your deals? Well 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 promised me thick and thin, yeah Now you just say, "Oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him" Chorus "I can't do the talk like they talk on the 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 I can't do anything except 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 and the bad company And all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time" Chorus And a lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade Laying everybody low with a love song that he made Finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade Says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"
