Cheap Trick › Lyrics › Surrender

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"

Well just the other day I heard of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk that's goin' round

Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay

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 is neither one of those, I've known her all these years

Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Well every time I got to thinkin', where'd they disappear?

When I woke up, mom and dad were rollin' on the couch
Rollin' numbers, rock and rollin', got my Kiss records out

Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay
Away, away

Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
(Mommy's alright, daddy's alright)
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
(Mommy's alright, daddy's alright)
(Mommy's alright, daddy's alright)
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
(We're all alright, we're all alright)
(We're all alright, we're all alright)
We're all alright, we're all alright, we're all alright, we're all alright
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay
