Is that what 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 
Yet know we're giving up without a fight 

But I know when you're gone 
I'll wish I'd held on 

So, baby, surrender to me 
There'll be no holding back now 
So, baby, surrender to me tonight 

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 

Neither one of us should ever say goodbye 
Let's forget about the past and who's to blame 

'Cause when this is all gone 
We'll wish we'd held on 

So, baby, surrender to me 
There'll be no holding back now 
So, baby, surrender to me tonight 

So, baby, surrender to me 
There'll be no holding back now 
So, baby, surrender to me tonight
