Surrender Lyrics by Betty Wright, The Roots

Betty Wright: The Movie

2011

Ohhhh-hooooo, ooh-ooh-ooh
Hey, heyy, heyy... Mmmm...

I'm waving my flag, I surrender
I feel it's love this time
His kisses are warm, and oh so tender
And I think the time is right

But I've been hurt so many times
I don't wanna be flying blind
Not at this time (not at this time)
In my lifetime (in my lifetime)
So I- I'm..

I'm waving my flag, I surrender
I think it’s love this time
As far back as I can remember
He said he was that guy

And I've been wounded so many times
All that I could think in my mind
Was not at this time (not at this time)
In my lifetime (in my lifetime)
But, I-I-I.. I...

I need someone who's good at opening doors
Someone to give me what I need and more (I need)
Someone who's lookin out for me (I need)
Someone who let's me be free (I need)
Someone who has my interest at heart (I need)
Someone who'll love me right from the start (I need)
With all, with all his heart
With all of his heaaa-AAAAAAAAAAAAAA-art

I'm waving my flag, I surrender
I feel it's love this time
His kisses are warm, and oh so tender
And I think the time is right

I'm waving my flag, I surrender
I think it’s love this time
As far back as I can remember
He said he was that guy
