In the words of Swift: "It's a song I wrote when I was dating a guy who was not exactly a popular choice His situation was a little complicated, but I did not care I started the song with the line, 'This love is difficult. . , but it's real. ' When I wrote the end of the song , I felt like it was the end that every girl wants in their love story . 's The end what I want . Want a guy who does not care what anyone thinks , what anyone says . he just says , ' Marry me, Juliet, I love you and that's all I know. ' It is a kind of account on a character from scratch , where is Romeo and Juliet, and I'm not saying I 'll get married or something ... But I think it's fun to write . " The song appeared in the movie Letters to Juliet, Amanda Seyfried .
In addition, the singer also said in his words: " This song I wrote thinking of a different ending to the popular story of Romeo and Juliet , as the original end of the story being honest hated it, and did not believe at that time that so beautiful love story had to end in such a sad end ."
Love Story - Taylor Swift
We were both young, when I first saw you.
i close my eyes and the flashback starts-
I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air.
see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
see you make your way through the crowd-
say hello, little did I know...
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles-
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet"-
And I was crying on the staircase-
begging you, "Please don't go..."
And I said...
Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet, because we're dead if they knew-
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, Oh.
Cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet" -
but you were everything to me-
I was begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...
Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes-
Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
Oh, Oh.
I got tired of waiting.
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading-
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting, for you but you never come.
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think-
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...
Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad -- go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby just say... yes.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.
'cause we were both young when I first saw you
Taylor Alison Swift.
