abba - waterloo lyrics

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 - promise to love you for ever more
waterloo - couldn't escape if i wanted to
waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
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 hope 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 - promise to love you for ever more
waterloo - couldn't escape if i wanted to
waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
waterloo - finally facing my waterloo

and how could i ever refuse
i feel like i win when i lose

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
waterloo - finally facing my waterloo
