we were both young when i first saw you
i close my eyes
and the flashback starts
im standing there
on a balcony of summer air
see the lights,
see the party the ball gowns
i see wewe make your way through the crowd
wewe say hello
little did i know
that wewe were romeo wewe were throwing pebbles
and my daddy alisema stay away from juliet
and i was crying on the staircase
begging wewe please don’t go, and i said
romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
i’ll be waiting all theres left to do is run
you’ll be the prince and i’ll be the princess
its a upendo story baby just say yes
so i sneak out to the garden to see you
we keep quiet because we’re dead if they knew
so close your eyes
lets keep this down for a little while
cause wewe were romeo i was a scarlet letter
and my daddy alisema stay away from juliet
but wewe were everything to me
and i was begging wewe please don’t go and i said
romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
i’ll be waiting all theres left to do is run
wewe be the prince and i’ll be the princess
its a upendo story baby just say yes
romeo save me, don’t try to tell me how it feels
this upendo is difficult, but its so real
don’t be afraid we’ll make it out of this mess
its a upendo story baby just say yes,
Oh, oh
I got tired of waiting
wondering if wewe were ever coming around
my faith in wewe was fading
when i met wewe on the outskirts of town, and I said
romeo save me i’ve been feeling so alone
i keep waiting for wewe but wewe never come
is this in my head, i don’t know what to think
he knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
marry me juliet you’ll never have to be alone
i upendo wewe and thats all I really know
i talked to your dad you’ll pick out the white dress
its a upendo story baby just say yes
oh, oh, yes
we were both young when i first saw you
