You used to write me letters
You'd send me records in the post
Like 'Born To Run' by Springsteen
You knew the songs I loved the most
But with the sweetest sorrow
I told you some things just won't last
For you and I are past
Our dancing days

I said it's not your fault, I lied
I don't have time to watch you cry
And I'm thinking Romeo must die
Ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai...

I tried to treat you gently
I said I'd always be your friend
But now your hands are empty
You don't know how to let it end
So with the sweetest sorrow
Let me spell it out for you
For you and I are past
Our dancing days

I said it's not your fault, I lied
I don't have time to watch you cry
And I'm thinking Romeo must die
Ai, ai, ai, ai...die, ai, ai..

Did you think I wouldn't notice?
As if I wouldn't bat an eye
Did you think that you could hide it?
All of your violent delights

Did you think I wouldn't notice?
As if I wouldn't bat an eye
Did you think that you could hide it?
All of your violent delights

I said it's not your fault, I lied
And I don't have time to watch you cry
And I'm thinking Romeo must die
Ai, ai, ai...

I said it's not your fault, I lied
And I don't have time to watch you cry
And I'm thinking Romeo must die
Ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai...
