ABBA - Waterloo Lyrics
Official




My, my
+
At Waterloo, Napoleon did surrender
+
Oh yeah
+
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
+
The history book on the shelf
+
Is always repeating itself
+
Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war
+
Waterloo, promise to love you forevermore
+
Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to
+
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
+
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo
+
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
+
And how could I ever refuse?
+
I feel like I win when I lose
+
Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war
+
Waterloo, promise to love you forevermore
+
Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to
+
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
+
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo
+
So how could I ever refuse?
+
I feel like I win when I lose
+
Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to
+
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
+
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo, ooh
+
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
+
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo, ooh
+
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you

ABBA - Waterloo Video
(Show video at the top of the page)


"Waterloo" is a song recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA, with music composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus and lyrics written by Stikkan Anderson. It is first single of the group's second album of the same name, and their first under the Atlantic label in the United States. This was also the first single to be credited to the group performing under the name ABBA. The title and lyrics reference the 1815 Battle of Waterloo, and use it as a metaphor for a romantic relationship. The Swedish version of the single was backed with the Swedish version of "Honey, Honey", while the English version featured "Watch Out" on the B-side.

In 1974, after winning the 14th edition of the Melodifestivalen, "Waterloo" represented Sweden in the 19th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest held in Brighton, winning the contest and beginning ABBA's path to worldwide fame. It topped the charts in several countries, and reached the top 10 in the United States.

In 2005, at Eurovision fiftieth anniversary competition Congratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest, "Waterloo" was chosen as the best song in the contest's history.
