Don't be surprised if you see me tonight
With my stockings up high and my cinnamon eyes
I'm going wild like a petulant child
What a beautiful time to be simply alive!

So how's it gonna be just little old me?
I could dance out in the rain
I could throw my life away

Sweet surrender
When you give up the ghost that you once loved the most
Oh, it's a sweet surrender
Not a tear in my eye as we're kissing goodbye
And we could try forever
But this love would divide if you're dying inside
Oh, it's a sweet surrender

I played with love like my heart was a toy
What a fabulous way to be one of the boys
I'm in the corner acting so coy
But the rumors are spreading like I'm Helen of Troy

So how's it gonna be just little old me?
I could dance out in the rain
I could throw my life away

Sweet surrender
When you give up the ghost that you once loved the most
Oh, it's a sweet surrender
Not a tear in my eye as we're kissing goodbye
And we could try forever
But this love would divide if you're dying inside
Oh, it's a sweet surrender
