Lyrics Surrender - Live June 16th 1979 - Cheap Trick

Mother told me, yes, she told me
I'd meet girls like you
She also told me, "Stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch"

But just the other day, I heard
Of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk
That's going 'round

Mommy's all right, Daddy's all right
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away, hey, hey!

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

Mommy's all right, Daddy's all right
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away, hey, hey!

Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year
Every time I got to thinking
Where'd they disappear

When I woke up, Mom and Dad
Are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rollin'
Got my KISS records out

Mommy's all right, Daddy's all right
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away, hey, hey!
Ah, hey
Away!
Away!

Surrender (Mommy's all right), surrender (Daddy's all right)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender (Mommy's all right), surrender (Daddy's all right)
But don't give yourself away (Mommy's all right, Daddy's all right)

Yeah, Mommy's all right, yeah, Mommy's all right
Yeah, Mom's all right, yeah, Mom's all right
Yeah, Mom's all right, yeah, Mom's all right
Yeah, Mom's all right, yeah, Mom's all right

Yeah, Mom's all right, yeah, Mom's all right
Yeah, Mom's all right, yeah, Mom's all right
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away, hey, hey!
