I Surrender - Lyrics - Head East

Head East is an American hard rock band originally from East Central Illinois. The band was formed by vocalist John Schlitt, guitarist Danny Piper, keyboardist Roger Boyd, bassist Larry Boyd, and drummer Steve Huston. They met and formed the band while John, Roger, and Larry were studying at the University of Illinois, Steve was at Eastern Illinois University 45 miles away and Danny was not in college. Eventually both Larry and Danny dropped out of the band and were replaced by Mike Somerville and Dan Birney . The band achieved success in the Midwest during the 1970s, but fell into obscurity in the following decades on both coasts while remaining strong in the Midwest and South.

I surrender to your heart And I'll do anything that you want me to do Please be tender, in your hands girl This is a feelin' that I never knew You know I've tried to make you my own This ain't the way it's suppose to be I spend all my time waitin' on the phone Oh woman, come back to me I remember, it seems like a lifetime It's hard to believe it's just a matter of days Since you left me so filled with heartbreak I want you so bad, I need your lovin' ways What will it take to get you by my side Is there nothing I can do To take away the hurt that's inside I'm still in love with you, oh I surrender, I surrender I'm givin' up the role of pretender Oh be tender, you'll be tender Won't you take the love that I send I remember, oh it seems like a lifetime It's hard to believe that it's a matter of days Since you left me so filled with heartbreak I want you so bad, I need your lovin' ways What will it take to get you by my side Is there nothing I can do To take away the hurt that's inside I'm still in love with you I surrender, I surrender I'm givin' up the role of pretender Oh be tender, you'll be tender Won't you take the love that I send you (Repeat twice more) I surrender Repeat chorus twice more
