3. Come up on different streets,
they both the streets of shame
Both dirty both mean,
yes and even and 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 one of your deals
4. Well 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, I used to have a scene with him.

R2: Juliet when we made love you used to cry
you 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 you gonna realize
it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?

5. I can't do the talk,
like they do it on the tv
I can't do a love song,
like the way it's meant to be.
I can't do anything,
but I'd do anything for you.
I cant't do anything
but be in love with you.

6. 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'd do the stars with you anytime.

R2: 

7. = 1. A love-struck Romeo…
