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 (Ah)

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 (Ah)
