I studied Shakespeare
when I was at school
thought Romeo was a pet
Felt if I met him
I'd act like a fool
I'd be a poor Juliet

Now that I know him
I'm not really sure
boy you're as charming as he
Saying the same things
to all the girls
or is it just to me

Romeo,
why am I so in love with you
Romeo,
is it you or the things you do
I've been yours
from the moment you said hello
Are you mine
or just only my Romeo

I studied Shakespeare
when I was at school
thought Romeo was a joy
I liked the true way
he loved Juliet
just my ideal of a boy

You know I like you as my Romeo
that's how I want you to be
but if you're out on some other date
can you be true to me

Romeo,
why am I so in love with you
Romeo,
is it you or the things you do
I've been yours
from the moment you said hello
Are you mine
or just only my Romeo
