A lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight, 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 people like that
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet, that 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 dream 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
I said, "I love you like the stars above, I love you 'till I die"
And 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'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, and the bad company
And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time
Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
I 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?
A lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets of serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Find a convenient streetlight, and steps out of the shade
He says something like, "You and me, babe -how about it?"

Review about Romeo And Juliet next album | Reviewer: Chris | 9/3/09
Their next album is supposed to be all covers like this one. They've been playing "Love Me Tender" by Elvis and they played "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" by The Animals at their concert last night.
Wow... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/26/09
Wow, I always loved Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and this song is just amazing. I've never been in love, but this song is probably one of few songs that can actually put it into words if even a little bit. And the fact that The Killers covered it just makes it that much better :-)
amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/4/09
i listened to this song so many times and after i stopped listening i kept playing the chorus in my head over and over again.. it made me tear up because its so emotional. I love you like the stars above, i love you til i die.. brandons voice goes so perfectly with it. I love the killers and i really love this song
amazing! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/25/09
absolutely beautiful. heard lisa mitchell cover this, cant get her version anywhere but this version is stunning, i love the killers, and have been listening to this song on repeat for 2 days now! such a beautiful love song...
The Original | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/21/09
I really like The Killers and everything they do. But you have to really listen to Mark Knopfler, his voice, and his exquisite guitar work on his song. He's not the best singer but the emotion on everything he sings overrides that. In fact, pick anything from his work and listen to the words. He is Dire Straits. He tells the story. You believe it. I applaud Brandon and The Killers for selecting and covering R&J but you cannot deny the original.
I'm wondering if this is love? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/22/09
I was with one of the first girls I ever cared about over the weekend. We kissed 10 years ago, but lives meandered and now she's in another Country now. Don't know what to do, we had such a great time...
This song reminds me of when we were young and awkward and now we're grown up... I'm wondering if this is love?

i LOVE their cover of this song.
i've listened to dire straits probably my whole life because my Dad is obsessed with them. i was delighted to hear that the killers covered this song, and when i heard it i just thought it was absolutley beautiful..
im in love with this song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/15/09
this song is so beautiful and so poignant and sweet. i broke up with my bf a few weeks ago, this song makes me cry. I love 'all i do is miss you, and the way we used to be" and "I cant do a love song, like the way its meant to be" I cant do anything except be in love with you:(
romeo and juliet | Reviewer: lauren | 2/27/09
omg i love this song its brilliant its 1 of the best songs they have done the killer have done very good songs like are we human or are we dancer but i like this 1 my best bit is 'I love you like the stars above, I love you till I die' its the best bit. keep listernin to the killers they r brilliant so killers keep singing
Love this song, I actually like it better then the original. Unfortunately for a class I couldn't skip and didn't know I would enroll in when the tickets were bought I had to sell off front row seats to their concert last night. ( I know shame on me) But I had this big plan to have sign saying "Romeo & Juliet" hoping they would play the song. Its amazing and precious to anyone that can understand the words.
Cheers!
