French Navy

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 and your dietary restrictions

Said you loved me with a lot of convention

I was waiting to be struck by lightning

Waiting for somebody exciting like you

Oh, the thing that you do, you make me go, ooh

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 a stand disappoint unless

Fooling all but I'm more than dead love

Ooh, with the looks, oh tender boy

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, oh

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 wanted to control it

But love, I couldn't hold it

I wanted to control it

But love, I couldn't hold it, oh, oh
