About Sweet Surrender

"Sweet Surrender" is the first single from Wet Wet Wet's third studio album, Holding Back the River. It was released on 18 September 1989, and reached #6 on the UK singles chart. The single fared extremely well in Ireland, topping the charts for two weeks, and giving the band their second consecutive Irish number one. In Australia, "Sweet Surrender" peaked at #7 on the ARIA singles chart in May 1990, and was certified gold. Marti Pellow recorded his own version of the song for inclusion on his 2002 album Marti Pellow Sings the Hits of Wet Wet Wet & Smile. For that version, he changed the lyric from Hey, little fella, now your show's together to Hey, little fella, now your shit's together.

Hey little fella, get your show together
I was listening in before
But now I don't care no more

Look around now
It's always that it's gonna get you down
It's only begun

One look is all it took
I remember that sweet surrender
I recall, do you
That sweet surrender

My determination
Came creeping across the nation
A sure mistake for anyone
'cause you can't take home everyone
'cause it's only just begun

One look is all it took
I remember that sweet surrender
I recall, do you
That sweet surrender

I don't know, I don't care
'cause I'm living without you baby
Even when I know what's going on
It only took, one look, one glance
To set my heart for romance
Do you believe my sweet surrender

My sweet surrender

Hey little fella, now your show's together
I never wanted you to listen before
So why should I walk out that door
Stick around now
And so the story goes on through the night
It's only begun

One look is all it took
I remember that sweet surrender
Do you recall, 'cause I do
That sweet surrender

I don't know, I don't care
'cause I'm living without you baby
Even when I know what's going on
It only takes, one look, one glance
To set my heart for romance
One look is all it took
My sweet surrender

My sweet surrender
One look is all it took to remember
(I don't know and I don't care)
