French Navy Lyrics

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, 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
Em - D (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)
