When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong  Juliet?

Come up on different streets, they both the streets of shame

Both dirty both mean, yes and even and 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 part of your deal

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, I used to have a scene with him.

Juliet when we made love you used to cry

you said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die

There's a place for us, you know the movie song

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?

I can't do the talk, like they talk on the tv

I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be.

I can't do anything, but I'd do anything for you.

I can’t do anything but 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 bad company.

All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme

Juliet I'd do the stars with you anytime.

Juliet when we made love you used to cry

you said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die

There's a place for us, you know the movie song

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?
