Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My, my!
At Waterloo, Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah!
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
[PreChorus]
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
[Chorus]
Waterloo
I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo
Promise to love you forever more
[Chorus]
Waterloo
Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
[Chorus]
Wow-wow-wow-wow-waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo
[Verse 2]
My, my!
I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah! (Oh yeah!)
And now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
[PreChorus]
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 forever more
[Chorus]
Waterloo
Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
[Chorus]
Wow-wow-wow-wow-waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo
[PreChorus]
So how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose
[Chorus]
Waterloo
Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
[Outro]
Wow-wow-wow-wow-waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo
Ooh-ooh-ooh, Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wow-wow-wow-wow-waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Waterloo
