Lyrics for singles by Cheap Trick

Surrender
I Want You To Want Me
Ain't That A Shame
Dream Police



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"
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off
some Indonesian junk that's going round

Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away

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 isn't one of those, I've known her all these years

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out

Away
Away




I Want You To Want Me

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me

I'll shine all my shoes
I'll put on a brand new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you'll say that you love me

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?

Feeling all alone and not a friend you know you feel like dying
Oh didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?




Ain't That A Shame

You make me cry when you say goodbye
Ain't that a shame
My tears fall like rain
Ain't that a shame
You're the one to blame

You broke my heart, now we're apart
Ain't that a shame
My tears fall like rain
Ain't that a shame
You're th one to blame, oh yes you are

So long, goodbye, although I cry
Ain't that a shame
My tears fall like rain
Ain't that a shame
You're the one to blame

You make me cry when you say goodbye
Ain't that a shame
My tears fall like rain
Ain't that a shame
You're the one to blame




Dream Police

Dream Police

The dream police they live inside of my head
The dream police they come to me in my bed
The dream police they're {come into my sleep, coming to arrest me}
Oh no

You know that talk is cheap and {those} rumors ain't nice
And when I fall asleep I don't think Ill survive
The night, the night

'Cause they're waiting for me
{they're} looking for me
Ev-ery sing-le night (they're) driving me insane
Those men inside my brain

The dream police they live inside of my head
The dream police they come to me in my bed
The dream police they're {come into my sleep, coming to arrest me}
Oh no

Well I {can't,don't} tell lies 'cause they're listening to me
{And} when I fall asleep, bet they're spying on me tonight, tonight

'Cause they're waiting for me
{they're} Looking for me
Ev-ery sing-le night (they're) driving me insane
Those men inside my brain

I try to sleep, they're wide awake, they won't {let,leave} me alone
They don't get paid to take vacations or {let,leave} me alone
They spy on me, I try to hide, they won't {let,leave} me alone
They persecute me, they're the judge and jury all in one

'Cause they're waiting for me
{they're} Looking for me
Ev-ery sing-le night (they're) driving me insane
Those men inside my brain

The dream police they live inside of my head
The dream police they come to me in my bed
The dream police they're coming to arrest me

The dream police (police, police)
The dream police (police, police)
