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 that old 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 heart's a 'flutter.
Teased him 'till he'd stutter.
Made him so young and tender.
Sweet to surrender
And 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 too young in the heart
Just too cold, honey
Just too hard to care
Just too hard to surrender
Surrender to love

Sweet surrender
Surrender to love
If we could just surrender
Love, would it be just everything?

So give me love, mama
It ain't be no good to keep
Going round and round
You've hurt me then I hurt you again
That's what to do

Give it up
Give it up and surrender
Sweet surrender
Surrender

Sweet surrender, mama
Surrender to love
