lyrics:

We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes and the flashback starts

I'm standin' there

On a balcony in summer air

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns

See you make your way through the crowd

And say, "Hello"

Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

And I was cryin' on the staircase

Beggin' 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, 'cause 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 beggin' 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 tryna 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

Wonderin' if you were ever comin' 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, oh, oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

 Briefly introduce the song

"Love Story" is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released in September 2008 as the lead single from her second studio album, "Fearless".  
The song is a country pop track that tells a romantic love story inspired by William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet". 
Taylor Swift wrote the song herself and it was produced by Nathan Chapman and Swift. 
Taylor Swift is an American singer-songwriter who has won numerous awards for her music and is known for her narrative songwriting style.

Three words I learned 

1. flashback  N. （電影、故事或戲劇的）閃回，倒敍

E.g. The televised version featured dramatized cases in a courtroom setting and flashbacks to fill out the stories.

2. pebbles  N.卵石，礫石

E.g.  It is readily accounts for the good fit between the pebble shape and the underlying sandstone.

3.  sneak out  V.偷偷溜走

E.g. She had to sneak out of the house to meet her friends because her parents wouldn't let her go out late at night.

 Why do I like the song?

The song has a memorable and catchy melody and it talks about Romeo and Juliet, a story I absolutely love. 

I very much appreciate Taylor Swift's distinctive and emotive singing style, also, the song is well crafted, a mix of country and pop that I really like. 

And this song is also the first time I have listened to Taylor Swift's song. From then on, I pay attention to her when she releases a new album. 

By the way, I hope she can come to Taiwan for a concert. I have watched a lot of videos about this concert on the Internet. Love story is also a must-sing song. I hope to have the opportunity to hear the live version of my favorite English song.
