[Verse 1: Robin Zander, Ann Wilson]
Is it that we've been together much too long?
The answer may not be in black and white
We're always trying to prove who's right or wrong
And now we're giving up without a fight

[Pre-Chorus: Robin Zander, with Ann Wilson]
But I know when you're gone
I'll wish I held on

[Chorus: Ann Wilson, Robin Zander, both]
So, baby, surrender to me (surrender)
There'll be no holding back now
So, baby, surrender to me tonight (tonight)

[Verse 2: Ann Wilson, Robin Zander]
I don't want our love to cause you so much pain
If this is how it's going to be, I'll walk away, baby
No, neither one of us should ever say goodbye
Let's forget about the past and who's to blame

[Pre-Chorus: Ann Wilson and Robin Zander]
'Cause when this is all gone
We'll wish we'd held on

[Chorus: Ann Wilson, Robin Zander, both]
So, baby, surrender to me (surrender)
There'll be no holding back now
So, baby, surrender to me tonight (tonight)
[Bridge: Ann Wilson and Robin Zander]
How could this love be in danger
That used to be so good, so right?
To think fate could make us strangers
Has thrown me in your arms tonight!

[Guitar Solo: Richie Zito, Ann Wilson]
Ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh!
All right, now now now

[Chorus: Ann Wilson, Robin Zander, both]
So, baby, surrender to me (surrender)
There'll be no holding back now (no)
So, baby, surrender to me tonight (tonight)
Surrender, baby, surrender, surrender
