Standard (EADGBE)

 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 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

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
