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 on a silvery lake

You came my way

Said, I want you to stay

You with your dietary restriction

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 ooooh

With the thing 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 would I stand for disappointed looks?

I'm fully grown, but I'm on tenterhooks

Ooh 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

I wanted to control it

But love, I couldn't hold it

I wanted to control it

But love, I couldn't hold it
