    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 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 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.

    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,
    Waterloo finally facing my Waterloo.
