Lyrics
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Moonlight serenade,
Flush feeling cavalcade;
Arrow in the heart, death do we part,
An ending to the start.
Back in the summer of '66,
From way out in the sticks,
My love she came,
My life never to be the same!
And the words I note,
To effect I quote,
'Do hearts like ours yearn aloud for the touch of one another?'
[Pre-Chorus]
And what did I know?
Yes what did I know?
(ooooooo)
Well that a heart like hers can't break, (ooooooo) If she don't have one to take!
[Chorus]
But I knew love! (love!),
Yeah the crazy feeling.
Love! (love!),
What is so appealing?
Love! (love!)
I surrender to myself.
[Verse]
I'll pack it all in one day,
And the lord above will say,
'That boy he don't know how a woman's grasp, ain't the touch of hand but the sparkle of an eye!'
Wooah woah woah woah woah woaaaah.
Yeah yeah yeah!
Wooah woah woah woah woah woaaaah.
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Yes the note I saw,
Detailing a love before,
She ran away, to a younger flame,
And went out on her way!
Back in the winter of '68,
I will not hesitate,
To tell you my son,
I thought I'd solve it with a gun!
[Snare Hit]
And the shot I gave,
Express to the grave,
I said: 'Do hearts like mine cry loud enough for a thief like you to hear?'
[Pre-Chorus]
And what did I know?
Yes what did I know?
(ooooooo)
Well that a heart like hers can't break, (ooooooo) If she don't have one to take!
[Chorus]
But I knew love! (love!),
Yeah the crazy feeling.
Love! (love!),
What is so appealing?
Love! (love!)
I surrender to myself.
(Oooh!) I surrender to myself!
[Verse]
So I say to you,
A father in blue,
Ain't nothing a young man need,
But the bars can wait,
I have another fate,
My good boy, learn it well!
(Oooh!) I surrender to myself!
[Verse]
So I say to you,
A father in blue,
A son don't need an old man in chain!
But the bars can wait,
I have another fate,
Listen to me, I won't die in vain!
[Verse]
Don't get no pain inside!
Don't leave no caution behind!
Cause the love you take,
May be a thirst you slake,
But it will leave with a hole with nothing to fill!
[Verse]
And the years will go,
And stories they show,
That any old sucker can love one another!
But don't let me dissuade,
True love is here to stay!
Woaaah yeah! Woah oh oh oh oh ooooo! Yeah yeah yeah! Woah oh oh oh oh oooooo!
[Outro]
But I knew love! (love!),
Yeah the crazy feeling.
Love! (love!),
What is so appealing?
Love! (love!)
I surrendered to myself.
(Woooaaah woah!)
I surrendered to myself.
(I surrender!)
I surrendered to myself.
Woaaaah woah!
(Yeah well)
Woaaaah woah.
(Yes I did...)
Woaaaah woah!
(I did it all...)
Woaaaah woah.
(Goodbye my son....)
Woaaaah woah!
(I hope you find the one...)
Woaaaah woah.
