Sweet Surrender - Tim Buckley

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 they're the things, momma
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.
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 at heart.
I'm just too cold, honey.
Just too hard to care, just too hard, 'right
To surrender, surrender to love.

Sweet surrender, surrender to love.

If we could just surrender
Love would heal the mess we've made.
So give it up, momma
It 'ain't gonna be no good
It keeps goin' 'round and 'round.
You hurt me, then I hurt you again.
All that's left to do is give it up
No, no, give it up
And surrender, momma.

Sweet surrender, sweet surrender.
Surrender your love, surrender love.
Surrender momma, surrender that love.
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet surrender, momma.
In to love, to love, to love.
