Lyrics

SURRENDER TO LOVE
BY BOB HOOT

VERSE 1
I know that I'm not easy
I might be a little crazy
You've been putting up with me
Longer than is reasonably
Don't know what you see in me
Maybe hoping who I'll be
Everyday when you wake
Hope you're right, it's no mistake

CHORUS
Your faith has taught me
To be the defender of the
Surrender to love. Surrender to love
Surrender to love. Surrender to love

VERSE 2
Sometimes we might fight
Each thinking that we're right
It's a skirmish, not a war
Soon forget what we're fighting for
You got to let it go
At least that's your say so
Pretty sure that you're right
So we get to sleep at night

CHORUS
Your faith has taught me
To be the defender of the
Surrender to love. Surrender to love
Surrender to love. Surrender to love

BRIDGE
SOLO(S)

VERSE 3
We're each of half a mind
Put our heads together, we'll be fine
Try to love with full hearts
So nothing pulls us apart
I take it day by day
I guess that is the only way
I always thought that you knew it
Really don't know how you do it

CHORUS
Your faith has taught me
To be the defender of the
Surrender to love. Surrender to love
Surrender to love. Surrender to love
Surrender to love. Surrender to love
Surrender to love. Surrender to love
