john hiatt - terms of my surrender lyrics
when the moon is rising and the night is still
some of my delusions have the power to kill
scared i’ll get what i deserve
or maybe scared i won’t
i’m sitting in my garage staring at my motorcycle
my heart is so heavy, like a stack of bibles
where i need you too much
baby, i swear i don’t
’cause sometimes love can be so wrong
like a fat man in a thong
it was shamelessly awake
i hold a seash-ll to my ear
and winds of echoed dreams i hear
reverberations of yesterday
i can be rough
sometimes i can be tender
but i can’t negotiate
the terms of my surrender
i love you too much, babe
go on and have your way with me
well, emperors and reigning kings
have showered you with golden rings
now i stand with my hat in my hand
i know that i can’t compete
with ruthless men and satin sheets
but i’m ready to meet your demands
wars and glory, and ashes and dust
at the end of the story there’s just us
i love you too much, baby
to ever say goodbye
