Sweet Surrender

Baby I'm through

Running, it's true

I'd be a fool to try to escape you

And maybe I'm beat

But, oh, what a sweet surrender

You keep your rights

I'll take your nights

No one can lose when we turn the lights out

Tasting defeat

Loving that sweet surrender

I'm giving up myself to you

But I didn't really lose at all

I gained the only love I've known

And it never hurt me to fall

Now that it's done

So glad you won

I know our lives have only begun

No more retreat

Only my sweet surrender

Mmm, babe, I may be beat

But, oh, what a sweet surrender

Surrender

And you, sweet thing in my life

I surrender to you
