[Verse 1]
You come to me with open arms
Trying to rectify my charms
You say tonight I'm to be your lover
And by the morning light, I'm to discover
Everything that you've held inside of you
What's a man like me supposed to do?
[Chorus]
Sweet, oh, sweet surrender
Sweet, sweet surrender
[Verse 2]
You tell me that you're lonely and you're sad
And tonight I'm to be your only man
You wear those things that turn my head
You ruffle my ego but not my bed
Seems like summer when you're close at hand
If I seem eager then you'll understand
[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet surrender
Sweet, sweet surrender
[Verse 3]
Heart is tired and full of doubt
Now you've sucked me in don't spit me out
Lay your head down next to mine
And in each other's arms we'll entwine
Look me straight in the eyes and tell me
Between your heart and mind I see
[Chorus]
Sweet oh sweet surrender
Sweet, sweet surrender
Surrender
You come to me with open arms
Trying to rectify my charms
You say tonight I'm to be your lover
And by the morning light, I'm to discover
Everything that you've held inside of you
What's a man like me supposed to do?
[Chorus]
Sweet, oh, sweet surrender
Sweet, sweet surrender
[Verse 2]
You tell me that you're lonely and you're sad
And tonight I'm to be your only man
You wear those things that turn my head
You ruffle my ego but not my bed
Seems like summer when you're close at hand
If I seem eager then you'll understand
[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet surrender
Sweet, sweet surrender
[Verse 3]
Heart is tired and full of doubt
Now you've sucked me in don't spit me out
Lay your head down next to mine
And in each other's arms we'll entwine
Look me straight in the eyes and tell me
Between your heart and mind I see
[Chorus]
Sweet oh sweet surrender
Sweet, sweet surrender
Surrender
