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?"
"You and me babe, how about it?"
