[Verse 1]
My, my
At Waterloo, Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way

[Pre-Chorus]
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself

[Chorus]
Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo, promise to love you forevermore
Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
Woah, woah, woah, woah, Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo

[Verse 2]
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]
And how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose
[Chorus]
Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo, promise to love you forevermore
Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
Woah, woah, woah, woah, Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo

[Refrain]
So how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose

[Outro]
Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
Woah, woah, woah, woah, Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo
Ooh, Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
Woah, woah, woah, woah, Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo
Ooh, Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
