To use the Napoleonic Wars as romantic allegory.

Gentlemen, I give you Bananarama:

My my (my my) at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender,
Oh yeah (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 for ever more;
Waterloo,
Couldn’t escape if I wanted to,
Waterloo,
Knowing my fate is to be with you,
Woh-woh-woh-woh-Waterloo,
Finally facing my Waterloo.

My my (my my) I tried to hold you back but you were stronger,
Oh yeas (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 for ever more;
Waterloo,
Couldn’t escape if I wanted to,
Waterloo,
Knowing my fate is to be with you,
Woh-woh-woh-woh-Waterloo,
Finally facing my Waterloo.

And 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;
Woh-woh-woh-woh-Waterloo,
Finally facing my Waterloo,
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh,
Waterloo,
Knowing my fate is to be with you,
Woh-woh-woh-woh-Waterloo,
Finally facing my Waterloo.

UPDATE FROM YOUR MAXIMUM LEADER: Bannanarama!?!?!?! Try Abba. After the Abba version (or should your Maximum Leader say versions?) all others are pretenders.
