  Lyrics:
  I surrender to your heart babe
  Do anything that you want me to do
  Please be tender I'm in your hands girl
  This is a feeling I never knew
  
  You know I tried to make it on my own
  That's not the way it was meant to be
  spend my time waiting by the phone
  Oh darling come back to me
  
  I surrender, I surrender
  I'm giving up the role of pretender
  oh be tender, girl be tender
  can't you feel the love that I spend on
  I surrender.
  
  I remember,seems like a lifetime
  can't believe it's a matter of days
  since you left me I'm near to heartbreak
  I want you so bad don't turn away
  what does it take to stay by my side
  you know I'll do what you want me to
  
  don't take away this feeling inside
  I'm still in love with you
  
  I surrender, I surrender
  I'm giving up the role of pretender
  oh be tender, girl be tender
  can't you feel the love that I send on
  I surrender.
  
  I surrender, I surrender
  darling now won't you be tender
  surrender, oh surrender
  can't you feel the love that I spend on
  I surrender.
