Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My, my, at the Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh, yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
[Chorus]
Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo, promise to love you forevermore
Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowin' my fate is to be with you
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
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 givin' up the fight (Oh, yeah)
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 forevermore
Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowin' my fate is to be with you
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Waterloo, finally facin' my Waterloo
[Bridge]
So how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose
[Chorus]
Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowin' my fate is to be with you
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo
[Outro]
Ooh
Waterloo, knowin' my fate is to be with you
