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

Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo, promised to love you for evermore
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

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

Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo, promised to love you for evermore
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

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
