I don't know what to think\"\r\n\r\nHe knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said\r\n\"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone\r\nI love you and that's all I really know\r\nI talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress\r\nIt's a love story, baby just say yes\"\r\n\r\nOh, oh,\r\nOh, oh\r\n\r\n'Cause we were both young when I first saw you.",
