You Surround Me Lyrics

Don't ever let me take you for granted
You've got your finger on the pulse of my soul
Let me place a kiss in the small of your back
Love and protect you fo the evils of this world
Baby don't ever leave me stranded
Whoever said that the streets were paved with gold
We'll I'm afraid that we're all sadly mistaken
There's nothing here till we have someone to hold
I love you with all the joy of living
Till the lights go down in New York City
It's a special love affair
And there's magic in the air
You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
Till I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses

If love wasn't here would we reinvent it?
Oh take me down to the very root of my soul
Oh baby say it as if you really mean it
And feel the passion
Work it's way up through your skin
I love you with all the joy of living
Till the lights go down in New York City
It's a special love affair
And there's magic in the air
You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
Till I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses

Let me take you by the hand
And lead you to a safe place in this world

You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
Till I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses
You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
Till I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses
You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
Till I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Can't believe no one has commented on this yet. It's the perfect love song about when a love affair is just beggining but you just know it's real even from the very start. I love the image of new york city lights doing down, it's a very sutil metaphore about something that never shuts down. Anyways, this song is full of light, that's what I like the most about Erasure, they always seem to give you a phisical realm through their music and lyrics, it trascends the plain sound.
