Tom Petty · Other Songs - Tom Petty
Take it easy
I just can't hold out forever
Don't you lie to me?
You said me you love
Don't say you dont remember
Cause you told me
Yeah you did
And I'm not gonna let you forget
Well I'm down on my knees
And I'm begging again
You tell me why you have to pretend
I know you want me, why don't you give in?
Surrender
Don't let me down
I just can't hang around
Feeling this way forever
On your balcony
You said you love me
Don't say you don't remember
Cause you told me
Yeah you did
And I'm not gonna let you forget
Well I'm down on my knees
And I'm begging again
You tell me why you have to pretend
I don't like it when you looking at him
Surrender
Surrender to me
Baby surrender, surrender
Surrender
Surrender to me
Baby surrender, surrender
Surrender
