Bread - Sweet Surrender Lyrics






Baby I'm through runnin' it's true
I'd be a fool to try to escape you
Maybe I'm beat but oh what a sweet surrender

You keep your rights, I'll take your nights
No one can lose when we turn the lights out
Tastin' defeat, lovin' that sweet surrender

I'm givin' up myself to you but I didn't really lose at all
I gained the only love I've known and it never hurt me to fall

Now that it's done, so glad you won
I know our lives have only begun now
No more retreat, only my sweet surrender

Umm Babe, I may be beat, but oh what a sweet surrender
surrender...
And you, sweet thing in my life
I surrender to you

  17. s.... k....

    SUCH CLEVER, RELEVANT LYRICS! These songs speak to the heart, and give voice to our emotions! Just beautiful!

  18. S.... R....

    One of my favorite songs from David Gates and Bread next to Aubrey, Make it With You, and Guitar Man...but how can you not fall in love and surrender your heart to the one you love, while your soul slips away into beautiful songs written by groups like Bread and many others during that time? I myself can never get enough of music like this to feed my soul...there are no singer/song writers left today who possess this special gift and passion for love songs. My name's Sean, I'm 51 years young, grew up in LA and raised on radio listening to music from the 50's to whatever grabs at my ears and shakes my soul...God Bless and Aloha!!!

    S.... R....

    Sean Ramirez Well said!

  19. A.... O....

    THE CREATOR. A GENIUS. EMMMANUEL.

  20. L.... R....

    Is David Gates of American Indian ancestry? I think he looks similar to Dan Fogelberg.

    L.... R....

    I JUST listened to How do we make love stay by dan before this! 💖

  21. L.... n....

    David was like, color wouldn't matter and we can make it happen. we can make love happen. we can build mountains upon our highest paramounts. no never, no matter, love had no colour. that's a real sweet surrender. Mr gates you only had true words that our truthful. thanks friend.

  22. G.... E....

    This music was so like, girly. But God they spoke to my hurting heart. Thanks to thier beautiful music, adolescence was a little-less painful.

  23. M.... S....

    Sweet surrender!!! Oh yeah baby!!!

  28. S.... P....

    They dont make music like this anymore.

  29. A.... H....

    Clearly remember hearing Johnnie Walker playing this on his 1-3pm show on Radio One in January 1973. I would listen at school from 1-2 on my transistor radio with the one ear piece. What happy days they were.

  30. T.... A....

    Cool song with a beautiful melody.

  31. A.... T....

    Sexy....

  32. A.... B....

    Eu gostaria de ouvir e ver a banda o homem da guitarra

    Un excelente poema musical!! Cuando entregas todo tu amor, toda tu vida a la mujer de toda nuestra existencia!! Otra bella composición musical del gran David Gates, que marcó en nuestra adolescencia un profundo recuerdo!!

  41. t.... b....

    Music back then was just that, music. Not the crap they put out today like rap or hip hop. But then, I probably sound like my father or grandfather.😁

  43. I.... B....

    What a pure, beautiful voice, man. I was so fortunate to have grown up in the 60s and 70s. We had the best music. It got almost interrupted by disco for a brief stint but we kept that tamped down with all the good music. Still do. I haven’t listened to radio in - years.

  44. S.... P....

    I just love how they weave all their beautiful words & verses together with the sweet melodies of their music and it’s like he’s singing right to me ... melts my heart because I just found my long lost love after 40 years ~ we are now planning our future together. Never give up hope on finding your 1 true love because love will find you again even at 50 years old 💞 I’ve never been more in love with someone & this happy in life 🥰

    BREAD , 1973 my sophmore year HS. I played in bands doing " Make it With You" and Baby I m a Want You. It was great music and playing soccer and the chess club . Chorus in Chamber Singers.

  66. A.... R....

    I had striped pants too like the picture in the early 70's

    A.... R....

    Andy Rock Oh my goodness!! I had a pair of striped bell bottoms. And sometimes I wore my belt with the long fringe. Low-slung hip huggers. Somebody at school walking by tossed one at me: “You gonna flog somebody with that thing?” Things that stick in your mind . . .

  67. D.... B....

    I saw them in concert in the 70's. Great concert.

  68. 3.... ....

    This teleports me back to the seventies, an era that I’m glad I lived through—probably the best part of my life. Thanks, Bread!

    QUESTION! DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THIS SONG BEING IN A CAR COMMERCIAL?? Back in probably the early 80s (late 70s?), there was a car or truck commercial on t.v. At the very end of the commercial, you hear the last of this song: "...A new sweet thing in my life, I surrender to you." (The idea was the person in the car commercial got a new car, which was a the new sweet thing in their life, and it used a popular song of the day to make the commercial hip, I suppose.) Google turns up nothing! Am I totally imagining this? Thank you!!

  99. D.... G....

    There IS nothing but The Best Of Bread- vol 1 and 2 lol
