VERSE 2 same as 1
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 

CHORUS 2 (plays same)
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 
And there's a place for us,
you know the movie song 
When you gonna realise it was just 
that the time was wrong Juliet? 

VERSE 3 same as 1
I can't do the talk like they talk on tv 
And I can't do a love song like 
the way it's meant to be 
I can't do everything but 
I'd 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, 
the bad company 
And all I do is kiss you through 
the bars of rhyme 
Juliet I'd do the stars with you any time 

CHORUS 3 (plays same)
Juliet when we made love you used to cry 
You said I love you like the stars above 
and I'll love you till I die 
There's a place for us you know the movie song 
When you gonna realise it was just 
that the time was wrong Juliet?
