French Navy Lyrics

Camera Obscura

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 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
