Surrender, why don't you surrender?

How long can your lips live without a kiss?

Surrender, I beg you surrender,

How long can your heart resist?



I'll bring you a love you can cling to,

A love that won't be untrue . . .

So please be tender,

And darling surrender,

And love me as I love you.



( repeat second verse )
