David Gates - Sweet Surrender 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 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
