Lyrics

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 were things mama
You just never cared to show me

And so this flim flammin' loverboy
Found him a flamingo
And his flamingo showed him how to tango
And when they tangoed it would send thier hearts a flutter
Tease him 'till he stutter
Made him so young and tender
Sweet to surrender was so sweet surrender
Sweet to surrender oh so sweet surrender to love

Well now your gonna go out and get yourself a reputation
But I gonna have to show you where to start
And then your gonna bring back your little reputation
And prove to me what I could not prove to you

Cause I was just to young and hard, just too cold honey
Just too hard to care, just too hard. to surrender, surrender to love
Sweet surrender, surrender, if we could, just surrender love would heal the
Mess we made
So give it up mama aint gonna be no good to go round and round. you hurt me
Then I hurt you again. oh there's left to do, give it up, give it up and
Surrender to love
