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 at the silvery lake You came my way I said, "I want you to stay" You with your dietary restrictions 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 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 art I was criticized for letting you break my heart Why wouldn't I stand for disappointed looks? I'm fully grown but I'm on tenterhooks 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 - (repeat) 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 mate [chorus] 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 Em D (repeat and fade)
