Baby I’m through runnin’, it’s true I’d be a fool to try to escape you,
And maybe I’m beat, oh what a sweet surrender.
You keep your rights I’ll take your nights no one can lose when we turn the lights out
Tastin’ defeat lovin’ that sweet surrender.
I’m givin’ 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 now,
No more retreat only my sweet surrender.
Mm, babe, I might be beat, but oh what a sweet surrender surrender
And you sweet thing in my life I surrender to you.
