Lyrics

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 gave 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 may be beat, but oh, what a sweet surrender
Surrender
And you, sweet thing in my life
I surrender to you
