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 loved me with a lot of conviction
I was waiting to be struck by lightning
Waiting for somebody exciting
Like you
Oh, the thing that you do
You make me go, ooooo
With the things that you do (you do, you do)
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 criticized for lending out my art
I was criticized for letting you break my heart
Why would I stand for disappointed looks
Fully grown but I'm all on tenterhooks
Oooo, with the looks
On tenterhooks,
Oooo, 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
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 loved me with a lot of conviction I was waiting to be struck by lightning Waiting for somebody exciting Like you Oh, the thing that you do You make me go, ooooo With the things that you do (you do, you do) 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 criticized for lending out my art I was criticized for letting you break my heart Why would I stand for disappointed looks Fully grown but I'm all on tenterhooks Oooo, with the looks On tenterhooks, Oooo, 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 Explain Request ×
