[Verse 1: Hugh Skinner]
My, my, at Waterloo
Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny
In quite a similar way

[Pre-Chorus 1: Hugh Skinner]
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself

[Chorus: Hugh Skinner & Lily James]
Waterloo
I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo
Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo
Couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo

[Verse 2: Hugh Skinner & Lily James]
My, my, I tried to hold you back
But you were stronger
Oh yeah
And now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight

[Pre-Chorus 2: Lily James]
And how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose

[Chorus: Hugh Skinner & Lily James]
Waterloo
I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo
Promise to love you, for ever more
Waterloo
Couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowing my fate
Is to be with you
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo

[Pre-Chorus 2: Hugh Skinner & Lily James]
So how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose

[Outro: Hugh Skinner & Lily James]
Waterloo, couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
