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
Oh the thing that you do
You make me go woo
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 eye
I was criticized for letting you break my heart
Why would I stand the disappointed looks
Fooling all but I'm on tenterhooks
Ooh with the looks
On tenterhooks
Ooh 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 want to control it
But love, I couldn't hold it
I wanted to control it
But love, I couldn't hold it
