Found it -- and thanks for the memory.

Just Like Romeo and Juliet -- The Reflections
(Written by Freddie Gorman and Bob Hamilton)

Findin' a job tomorrow mornin'
Got a little somethin' I wanna do
Gonna buy somethin' I could ride in / Take my girl datin' at the drive-in
Our love's gonna be written down in history / Just like Romeo and Juliet

I'm gonna buy her pretty presents
Just like the ones in a catalog
Gonna show how much I love her / Let 'er know one way or the other
Our love's gonna be written down in history / Just like Romeo and Juliet

Talk about love and romance,
just wait 'til I get myself straight.
I'm a-gonna put Romeo's fate
right smack dab out of date.

All right, now, I'm speculatin'
Wonder what tomorrow's gonna really bring
If I don't find work tomorrow / It's gonna be heartaches 'n' sorrow
Our love's gonna be destroyed like a tragedy / Just like Romeo and Juliet

Quote from the web: (Just Like) Romeo & Juliet skyrocketed to No. 5 on the pop charts, and the #1 spot on the Rhythm and Blues charts in 1964, with sales peaking at just over 4 million.
