Lyrics
Baby I'm through runnin' it's true
I'd be a fool to try to escape you
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
Tastin' defeat, lovin' that sweet surrender
I'm givin' 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
Umm Babe, I may be beat
But oh what a sweet surrender
Surrender...
And you, sweet thing in my life
I surrender to you
