When we first met it wasn’t quite
Love at first sight but
It was still a sight to be seen
You were working out your plot line
While my story was moving just fine and
Somethings are just meant to be
And you said would be my romantic lead?
Well you could play my leading lady
So perfectly
If I was yours and you were my romantic lead
We could write our happy ending
Right off the silver screen yeah
Yeah, yeah
Well I don’t need a Romeo
Of have the lights just right
I don’t do cameos or throw staged fights
It’s not that kind of storybook life
It’s a comedy with plenty of strife and
I’ve made room for you
By my side
And you said would be my romantic lead?
Well you could play my leading lady
So perfectly
If I was yours and you were my romantic lead
We could write our happy ending
Right off the silver screen yeah
Well you’ve got to got to understand that
It’s been a long hard road
For a woman who’s got plans
So if tomorrow does betray us
Today is on our side
I don’t need you to lead me baby
Just sit with me, enjoy the sunrise
The sunrise yeah
And you said would be my romantic lead?
Well you could play my leading lady
So perfectly
If I was yours and you were my romantic lead
We could write our happy ending
Right off the silver screen yeah
And I said would you be my romantic lead
You could play opposite of me
So perfectly
If you were mine and I was your romantic lead
We could write that happy ending
Just like on the silver screen
If you were mine and I was your romantic lead
Woah oh woah ooooh
(yeah)
