Surrender
Love's Battle: Black Ivory's Surrender to Sweet Devotion
Lyrics
From the time I met you,
Expressing the duration since the speaker first encountered the person.
There's been one thing on my mind
Indicating a persistent thought or desire related to the person.
That one day baby I'll just have to make you mine
Conveying a future hope or plan to win the person's affection.
Then everyday and in everyway I'll pay my daily dues
Commitment to consistently invest effort and devotion in the relationship.
Of how I'd go about getting you to love me
Describing contemplation on strategies to make the person fall in love.
Alright
An affirmation or expression of agreement with the preceding sentiments.
Surrender
Initiating the theme of surrendering in the context of love.
Yeah, surrender

Love sweet loving
Connecting the idea of surrender with the sweetness of love.
Surrender

Oh surrender

Love sweet loving
Linking the surrender theme with the sweetness inherent in love.
I know it won't be easy baby, trying to get next to you
Acknowledging the challenges of approaching the person and expressing determination.
You're fed up and defensive but one day I'll break through
Recognizing the person's current emotional state and expressing confidence in overcoming it.
I'm gonna launch a love attack and sweep you off your feet
Using the metaphor of a "love attack" to describe the speaker's approach to winning the person's heart.
So let us make a treaty baby, surrender your love to me
Proposing a mutual agreement or treaty for the person to surrender their love.
Come on now
An encouraging call to action, inviting the person to surrender.

You think this is all a game but I've no time to play
Rejecting the notion of the situation being a game and expressing seriousness.
If love is a battle, in the end I'll get my way
Portraying love as a battle and asserting confidence in eventual victory.
You better give an answer girl that's all I'm waiting for
Requesting a decisive response from the person, anticipating a forthcoming declaration of love.
There'll be no time to change your mind once I've declared my war
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of the speaker's commitment once a romantic "war" is declared.
Surrender yeah surrender
