Surrender (1978)

Cheap Trick

Surrender Lyrics

Mother told me, yes, she told me
That I'd meet girls like you.
She also told me, "Stay away,
You'll never know what you'll catch."
Just the other day I heard
Of a soldier's falling off.
Some Indonesian junk
That's going round.

(Chorus)
Your Mommy's all right,
Your Daddy's all right,
They just seem a little weird.
Surrender,
Surrender,
But don't give yourself away,
Hey, heeeeeey.

Father says, "Your mother's right,
She's really up on things.
Before we married, Mommy served
In the WACS in the Philippines."
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited
Old maids for the war.
But mommy isn't one of those,
I've known her all these years.

(Chorus)
Your Mommy's all right,
Your Daddy's all right,
They just seem a little weird.
Surrender,
Surrender,
But don't give yourself away,
Hey, heeeeeey.

Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking,
Here'd they disappear?
But when I woke up, Mom and Dad
Are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rollin',
Got my KISS records out.

(Chorus)
Your Mommy's all right,
Your Daddy's all right,
They just seem a little weird.
Surrender,
Surrender,
But don't give yourself away,
Hey, heeeeeey.

Away...
Away...

Surrender,
Surrender,
But don't give yourself away
Surrender,
Surrender,
But don't give yourself away
(repeat to fade)
