.  A lovestruck Romeo    sings the streets a serenade
.                                  A Bm                              G
Laying everybody low    with a love song that he made
A                                                      G A                            D
.  Finds a convenient street light, steps out of the shade

.                                                  A Bm                          G
He’s underneath the window,   singing hey my boyfriend’s back
A                                                               G                                          D

And I bet, and you exploded in my heart.

Come up on different streets,    both the streets of shame

And I can’t do a love song,   like the way it’s meant to be.

All I do is keep the beat    and bad company.
