Sweet Surrender
Embracing Love's Spell: Rod Stewart's Sweet Surrender Unveiled
Lyrics
You come to me with open arms
You approach me willingly and openly.
Tryin' to rectify my charms
Attempting to fix or justify my attractive qualities.
You say tonight, I'm to be your lover
You express that tonight, I am meant to be your lover.
And by the morning light I'm to discover
By the morning light, I am expected to uncover something.
Everything that you've held inside of you
Everything that you have kept hidden within yourself.
What's a man like me supposed to do
As a man like me, what am I supposed to do in this situation?
Sweet, oh sweet surrender
Expressing the sweetness and allure of surrender.
Sweet, sweet surrender
Reiterating the idea of a pleasing surrender.
You tell me that you're lonely and you're sad
You convey your loneliness and sadness.
And tonight, I'm to be your only man
Tonight, I am supposed to be the only man for you.
You wear those things that turn my head
You wear enticing things that capture my attention.
You ruffle my ego but not my bed
You boost my ego but don't engage in physical intimacy.
Seems like summer when you're close at hand
Being close to you feels like the warmth of summer.
If I seem eager then you'll understand
If I seem eager, it's because of my strong desire.
Sweet, sweet surrender
Emphasizing the pleasurable nature of surrender.
Sweet, sweet surrender
Repeating the idea of a delightful surrender.
Heart is tired and full of doubt
The heart is weary and uncertain.
Now you've sucked me in don't spit me out
Once drawn in, please don't reject me.
Lay your head down next to mine
Lay your head beside mine.
And in each others arms we'll entwine
We'll embrace each other in our arms.
Look me straight in the eyes and tell me
Direct me with your gaze and honestly communicate.
Between your heart and mind I see
I observe a conflict between your emotions and thoughts.
Sweet, oh sweet surrender
Expressing the sweetness and allure of surrender once again.
Sweet, sweet surrender, surrender
Reiterating the idea of a pleasing surrender one more time.
