(addE) : XX0200
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
(addE)
To make love feel new again
'Cause there's just a few things honey
(addE)
I'm not old enough to do for you
And there are things, mama
(addE)
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
Sweet 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
(addE) (addE)
And prove to me what I could not prove to you
'Cause I was just too young and hot
(addE)
I was just too cold honey
(addE)
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
(addE)
You hurt me then I hurt you again
(addE)
All there's left to do is give it up
(addE)
Give it up and surrender
(addE)
Sweet surrender Sweet surrender your love
To love... to love...
