Sweet Surrender
Wet Wet Wet/Wren Orchestra of London Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey little fella, get your show together
I was listening in before
But now I don't care no more

Look around now
It's always that it's gonna get you down
It's only begun
One look is all it took
I remember that sweet surrender
I recall, do you
That sweet surrender

My determination
Came creeping across the nation
A sure mistake for anyone
'cause you can't take home everyone
'cause it's only just begun

One look is all it took
I remember that sweet surrender
I recall, do you
That sweet surrender

I don't know, I don't care
'cause I'm living without you baby
Even when I know what's going on
It only took, one look, one glance
To set my heart for romance
Do you believe my sweet surrender

My sweet surrender

Hey little fella, now your show's together
I never wanted you to listen before
So why should I walk out that door
Stick around now
And so the story goes on through the night
It's only begun

One look is all it took
I remember that sweet surrender
Do you recall, 'cause I do
That sweet surrender

I don't know, I don't care
'cause I'm living without you baby
Even when I know what's going on
It only takes, one look, one glance
To set my heart for romance
One look is all it took
My sweet surrender

My sweet surrender




One look is all it took to remember
(I don't know and I don't care)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Sweet Surrender" by Wet Wet Wet/Wren Orchestra of London talk about a sweet surrender to love. The singer is telling a little fella to get his show together and not worry about the things that will inevitably bring him down. The singer reminisces about a sweet surrender to love, which came from one look, one glance. The determination to find love can be a mistake because one can't take everyone home. However, the sweet surrender to love is worth the risk. The singer is living without the person they surrendered to, but one look or one glance is all it takes to set their heart for romance.


The lyrics include repetitive lines, such as "one look is all it took" and "sweet surrender," to emphasize the power of love at first sight. The chorus reinforces the idea that surrendering to love is a sweet and memorable experience. The use of "little fella" creates an image of a paternal figure, suggesting that the singer is experienced and has gone through the same things as the addressee. The song's title serves as the key concept and the main message of the song.

Probably one of their best performances.

I see them in late 90s at Wembley and still remember it. As a kid I hated them and one day my brain just clicked and I realised how great they was.

I can you give you everything
Angel Eyes
Shed A Tear
Wishing I Was Lucky
Sweet Little Mystery

Just a band I’m glad I got to see and Marti had parts at the end of Angel Eyes and I can Give, where he went crazy holding a note for 16 bars. Just heaven
