- French Navy Lyricsspent 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 of 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 to say it like you
oh, the thing that you do
you make me go woo-oo-oo
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 arm
I'll be criticized for letting you break my heart
oh, would i stand the disappointment
fully grown but I'm untender her
with the looks
I'm untender her
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 are 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
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 of 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 to say it like you
oh, the thing that you do
you make me go woo-oo-oo
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 arm
I'll be criticized for letting you break my heart
fully grown but I'm untender her
with the looks
I'm untender her
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 are 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

Fate brought two young lovers together. The French guy she was in love with broke her heart and left. Everyone critized her for being with him but she couldn't control her feelings. Love this song :)
