[Verse 1]
Some day down the road, I hope to be your Romeo
I'll climb the wires to your landline
While you're crying on the telephone
And you're sitting, feet dangling
Cheeks so rosy red and saying
"Baby, I was so upset, I thought you'd never set me free"

[Chorus]
I'd say, "Oh, I love you" to my Juliet
If you only knew, I'd kill for you
I am for you
I am just who you need me to be
Let's get down and let's grow old
This fire escape is getting cold
I love that dress, I love the rest
Of all that you've got going on

[Verse 2]
One day when the lines have all been read and memorized
I hope you mean it when you say that
I am yours and you are mine
See me down here, on my knees
I'm begging, won't you marry me?
I love that dress, I love the rest
So Julie let the show go on
