Waterloo lyrics

[Verse 1: Hugh Skinner]

My, my, at Waterloo

Napoleon did surrender

Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny

In quite a similar way

[Pre-Chorus 1: Hugh Skinner]

The history book on the shelf

Is always repeating itself

[Chorus: Hugh Skinner & Lily James]

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

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Waterloo

Finally facing my Waterloo

[Verse 2: Hugh Skinner & Lily James]

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

[Pre-Chorus 2: Lily James]

And how could I ever refuse?

I feel like I win when I lose

[Chorus: Hugh Skinner & Lily James]

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

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo

[Pre-Chorus 2: Hugh Skinner & Lily James]

So how could I ever refuse?

I feel like I win when I lose

[Outro: Hugh Skinner & Lily James]

Waterloo, couldn’t escape if I wanted to

Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
