Lyrics
Talk about love
How it makes life complete
You can talk all you want
Make it sound good and sweet
But the words have an empty ring
And they don't really mean a thing
Without love, you are not to be found
(You are) not to be found
For love is surrender
You must surrender if you care
You must surrender if you care
Shout about love
And the wars will all end
You can shout "we're all brothers"
And even pretend
But you can't cover up the past (cover up the past)
Just pretending will never last
Without love, you are nothing at all (without love)
(You are) nothing at all
For love is surrender
You must surrender if you care
You must surrender if you care
Love is surrender
You must surrender if you care
You must surrender if you care
Writer(s): Ralph Carmichael
