''Narrator:''
A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a street light, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"
Juliet says, "Hey it's Romeo, you 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, singing up at people like that"
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?
''Romeo:''
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start,
And I bet, then you exploded in my heart,
And I forget, I forget, the movie song
When 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?
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, you know I used to have a scene with him"
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?
I can't do the talk like the talk 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 'cept 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 a rhyme
Julie, I'd do the stars with you, anytime
Ah 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?
''Narrator:''
And a lovestruck Romeo he sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made
Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
And says something like, "You and me babe, how 'bout it?"
''Romeo:''
"You and me babe, how about it?"

Lazarus May 17, 2013 - 21:06	Everybody in my church loves this song... from the year 1594: Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Act 2, Scene 2: JULIET: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, And for that name which is no part of thee Take all myself. [ Reply ]

suesblues Mar 16, 2013 - 02:41	nooooooooooooo, this foray into the early 80s is going just a little too far! The Police's Message in a Bottle had some gumption, this is just plain bland, sorry. It doesn't give any sense of passion, really, just too wet and sentimental. [ Reply ]

WakeUpWorld Oct 29, 2012 - 18:47	This has alway been one of my favorite songs, understated guitar, just perfect. If you like this song, you be be pleasantly surprised at the Steve MIller Band song, "Circle of Love". There is a similar tone on Steve's 2 1/2 minute guitar solo duing the fade and I think you will enjoy it. You Tube it. I am not saying that it is better than this song, few songs are.... [ Reply ]

pixelpeda Oct 24, 2012 - 08:47	This ist not only one of the best songs ever. This is also from one of the best vinyl albums ever. Starting from the great cover design going through deeply touching and genious lyrics and finally never ending in whatever this music does or has done with it's listener. Thank you Mark Knopfler for beeing and thank you Bill for not forgetting! [ Reply ]

ziakut Aug 27, 2012 - 18:45	I have a new found respect for Mark Knopfler in Dire Straits, but even more so as a solo artist. This is a great tune. Never at a lost for good lyrics and expertise in the 'guitar department'. What more can one ask for...? Hey...Bob Dylan...this is how to speak/sing, dude. [ Reply ]
