You wanna rush, you wanna race
You wanna press your lips onto his face
But, take your time, steady and slow
Traveling the long way's the best way to go
It may be hard; it's worth your wait
There's no need to walk through each open gate
Don't stress about finding your way
You'll figure all this out one of these days

Yet in my experience, you'll never know
Until you screw up, choose the wrong way to go
Until you learn lessons that you can't forget
C'mon girl, don't give up just yet, Juliet

You wanna love, you wanna wed
I know that you want a place in his bed
But answer this, tell me no lies:
Will all your beauty shine true in his eyes?
Love is a gift, but heartbreak can stain
I don't want to see you go through more pain
Give me a chance, don't tune me out
Romeo's not all that your life's about

Yet in my experience, you'll never know
Until you screw up, choose the wrong way to go
Until you learn lessons that you can't forget
C'mon girl, don't give up just yet, Juliet

'Cause you'll go down in history, baby
As the girl who fell too fast
It won't be a mystery, baby
That neither one of you could last
You can't throw your arms 'round a ghost
'Cause all you'll embrace is air
So don't go and say "my love's all that I see
And nobody else is there"
Love is a gift, but heartbreak can stain
I don't want to see you go through more pain
Give me a chance, don't tune me out
Romeo's not all that your life's about

Yet in my experience, you'll never know
Until you screw up, choose the wrong way to go
Until you learn lessons that you can't forget
C'mon girl, don't give up just yet, Juliet
