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
