Sweet Surrender Now you wanna know the reason Why I cheated on you Well I had to be a hunter again This little man had to try To make love feel new again 'Cause there's just a few things honey I'm not old enough to do for you And there are things, mama You just never care to show me So this flim-flam lover boy found him a flamingo And his flamingo showed him how to tango And when they tangoed It'd send their hearts a flutter Tease them till they stutter Made them so young and tender Seemed to surrender in so sweet surrender In sweet surrender Ahh sweet surrender to love But now you're gonna go out And get yourself a reputation But I'm gonna have to show you where to start And then you're gonna bring back your little reputation And prove to me what I could not prove to you Cause I was just too young and hot I was just too cold honey Just too hot to care Ah just too hot To surrender, surrender to love Sweet surrender, surrender to love If we could just surrender Love would heal the mess we made So give it up mama It ain't gonna be no good to keep going round and round You hurt me, then I hurt you again All there's left to do is give it up Give it up and surrender Sweet surrender, sweet surrender your love To love... to love...
