Juliet

Copyright 2003 All rights reserved


If I died for this love we have
Would my Juliet come with me?
Would we be the new West Side Story?
So you can watch our tragedy
Well beautiful, should we plot it out
Like in Shakespeare's Romeo
Or should it be in privacy
So no one will ever know

Sweetie would you be my Juliet
If I decide to die to night
Or would you just move on
To somebody else

I want to make our story better
Inscribed on paper, to last forever
Maybe it should be dramatic
But you don't have to act ecstatic
I am banned from writing this
But Shakespeare could write his
At least I don't act it out
It's not what my writing is about

Listen girl
I would never leave you
'Cause my words to you are true
I love you too much to leave
Hold me baby
