Surrender

(album: Standing Hampton - 1981)

You and I have stood on separate sides
If we get too close we'd only hide
Any other way but face to face

And I'd be willing to give you all
So take a little step, you don't have to fall
If you want the fruits, you'll have to taste

Surrender, so I can give you my love
Surrender, I don't wanna be the one
Tugging on an empty sleeve
I can't stop 'cause all I need girl is you

Now everybody knows I'm stuck on you
So what's with all these games that we go through
You can take your time and watch me walk away

Or surrender, so I can give you my love
Surrender, I don't wanna be the one
Who's tugging on an empty sleeve
I can't stop 'cause all I need girl is you

Don't ya see I been riding out the tide
Patient right from the start
But all this waiting's like an arrow in my side
Look at me, can't you see my heart
Beat, beat, beat, beat, beating for

Surrender, so I can give you my love
Surrender, I don't wanna be the one
Who's tugging on an empty sleeve
I can't stop 'cause all I need girl

I could be the one that you've waited for
But you'll never know once I shut the door
I'm gonna make my move, don't let me walk away

Oh, baby just surrender, so I can give you my love
Surrender, I don't wanna be the one
Tugging on an empty sleeve
I can't stop 'cause all I need is your surrender

I don't wanna be the one
Who's tugging on an empty sleeve
I can't stop 'cause all I need

Is your surrender, so I can give you my love
Surrender, I don't wanna be the one
Who's tugging on an empty sleeve
I can't stop 'cause all I need

Is your surrender, so I can give you my love
