[Verse 1]

You and I have stood on separate sides

If we got 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


[Chorus]

Surrender, so I can give you my love

Surrender, I don't wanna be the one

Tuggin' on an empty sleeve

I can't stop 'cause all I need, girl, is you


[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

Or surrender, so I can give you my love

Surrender, I don't wanna be the one

Who's tuggin' on an empty sleeve

I can't stop 'cause all I need, girl, is you


[Bridge]

Don't you 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


[Chorus]

Surrender, so I can give you my love

Surrender, I don't wanna be the one

Who's tuggin' on an empty sleeve

I can't stop 'cause all I need, girl


[Verse 3]

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


[Chorus]

Oh, baby, just surrender, so I can give you my love

Surrender, I don't wanna be the one

Who's tuggin' on an empty sleeve

I can't stop 'cause all I need is your surrender


[Outro]

I don't wanna be the one

Tuggin' 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 tuggin' on an empty sleeve

I can't stop 'cause all I need is your surrender

So I can give you my love

Surrender
