Spent a week in a dusty library
Waiting for some words to jump at me
We met by a trick of fate
French navy, my sailor mate
We met by the moon on a silvery lake
You came my way
Said I want you to stay
You with your dietary restriction
Said you love me with a lot of conviction
I was waiting to be struck by lightning
Waiting for somebody exciting
Like you, all the things that you do
You make me go ooooh
With the things that you do
You do, you do, woah woah
I wanted to control it
But love I couldn't hold it
I wanted to control it
But love I couldn't hold it
I'll be criticised for lending out my heart
I was criticised for letting you break my heart
Why would I stand for disappointed looks
Fully grown, but I'm all on tender hooks
Oooh, with the looks
On tender hooks
Ooooh, with the looks, the looks, the looks
I wanted to control it
But love, I couldn't hold it
I wanted to control it
But love, I couldn't hold it
Relationships were something I used to do
Convince me they are better for me and you
We met by a trick of fate
French navy, my sailor...
I wanted to control it
But love I couldn't hold it
I wanted to control it
But love I couldn't hold it
I wanted to control it
But love I couldn't hold it
I wanted to control it
But love I couldn't hold it
