Lyrics

Waterloo

[Verse 1]

My, my!

At Waterloo, Napoleon did surrender

Oh, yeah

And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way

[Pre-Chorus 1]

The history book on the shelf

Is always repeating itself

[Chorus]

Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war

Waterloo, promise to love you for ever more

Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to

Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you

Woah, woah, woah-oh

Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo

[Verse 2]

My, my

I tried to hold you back, but you were stronger

Oh, yeah

And now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And how could I ever refuse?

I feel like I win when I lose

[Chorus]

Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war

Waterloo, promise to love you for ever more

Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to

Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you

Woah, woah, woah-oh

Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo

[Pre-Chorus 2]

So how could I ever refuse?

I feel like I win when I lose

[Outro]

Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to

Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you

Woah, woah, woah-oh

Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo (Oh)

Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you

Woah, woah, woah-oh

Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo
