Sweet Surrender


Now you wanna know the reason
Why I cheated on you
Well I just had to be a hunter again
This little man had to try
And make love feel new again

'Cause there's just a few things
I'm not old enough to do for you
And there are things, honey
You just don't care to show me now

So this flim-flam lover boy found him a flamingo
And his flamingo just loved to do the tango
And when they tangoed
It'd send his heart a flutter
Tease them till they stutter

So young and tender
Sweet to surrender
So young and tender
Sweet to surrender
So young and tender
Sweet to surrender

So young and tenderHeart to heart

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 that little reputation
And prove to me what I could not prove to you

Cause I was just too young
And just too cold to care a damn About
What it all boils down to

I was just too hot
Just too young and cold and hard
Just too young
Just too young and cold and hard

Just too young
To surrender, surrender to love
Sweet surrender, surrender to love

If we could just surrender
Then love would heal
Sweet love would heal
The little mess we made

So give it up
It ain't gonna be no good going round and round
I hurt you
Then you learned all about
How to hurt me back again

Give it up
Sweet surrender, sweet surrender
To love... to love...
