[1] My, my – At 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
[Refrain] Waterloo – I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo – Promise to love you forevermore
Waterloo – Couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo – Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, Finally facing my Waterloo
[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
And how could I ever refuse I feel like I win when I lose
[Refrain] Waterloo – I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo – Promise to love you forevermore
Waterloo – Couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo – Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, Finally facing my Waterloo
So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose – I lose –
Waterloo – I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo – Promise to love you forevermore
Waterloo – Couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo – Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, Finally facing my Waterloo
