Lyrics

I first met you on a winter's day
An English teacher I could tell
A bunch of schoolkids hanging on your every word
You had them in your spell
You caught my eye and warmed me with a smile
Worked your magic on me too
When you asked if we could talk a while
I felt myself surrendering to you

And I surrendered to your charms, I surrendered to your open arms
I never thought that love could be this way, I surrender every day

Your favourite game is devil's advocate
Always spoiling for a fight
A parting shot delivered by a slamming door
You believe you're always right
Then re-engaging in an hour or two
You call a truce and hold me tight
A charm offensive skillfully employed
Ensures you always stay the night

And I surrender unconditionally, I surrender irrefutably
I never thought that love could be this way, I surrender every day

Your note was hanging on the fridge when I awoke
Magnetic force held us both there
A smiling snowman pointed to your scribbled words
All I could do was stand and stare
Last night I asked you to make up your mind
I said it's time to name the day
Commitment's not in your vocab'lary
For once you'd nothing left to say

But I surrender is what you wrote, I surrender - your proposal note
I never thought that I would see the day, you'd surrender and you'd stay
I never thought that I would see the day, you'd surrender and you'd stay
