[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
