Kool & The Gang - Surrender lyrics

Words of silence Echo through this lonely room Just a photograph and dreams That won't come true I'll never know why I left you Standin' in the rain Cryin' tears of emptyness It's drivin' me insane All I wanted was to love you Never wanted to see you cry All I need is just to hold you I just can't say - Goodbye Sometimes we raise our guns of pain But I'll be your defender 'Cause if love means war Baby I surrender You use words as weapons I use love as a shield So tell me why Are we on this battlefield In a blaze of glory Can we rise above these flames In a world of anger There's got to be a way Sometimes we raise our guns of pain But I'll be your defender 'Cause if love means was Baby I surrender We're just soldiers from the heart And I ain't no pretender So lay down your arms And baby let's surrender And thought my aim is true I sometimes miss the mark Ooh, in matters of the heart But I'd give my life tonight To hold you in my arms In a blaze of glory Can we rise above these flames In a world of anger There's got to be a way I just wanna hold you Surrender I just wanna love you Surrender I never meant to make you cry Sometimes we raise our guns of pain But I'll be your defender 'Cause if love means war Baby I surrender We're just soldiers of from the heart And I ain't no pretender So lay down you arms And baby let's surrender
