Lyrics Romeo And Juliet - Remastered 2022 - Dire Straits

A lovestruck Romeo, sang the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"

Juliet says, "Hey it's Romeo, he nearly gave me a heart attack"
He's underneath the window
She's singing, "Hey, la, my boyfriend's back"
"You shouldn't come around here, signing up at people like that"
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?

Juliet the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet, and you exploded in my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When are you gonna realize it was 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 if I was just another one of your deals?

When 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"

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
Said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die"
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When are you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?
Juliet

I can't do the talks, like the talks 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'll 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
All I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet I'll do the stars with you, anytime

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
Said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die"
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When are you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong?
Juliet

And a lovestruck Romeo, sang 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?"
