Now you want to 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
You just never care to show me
Showed him how to tango
And when they tangoed it'd send their hearts a flutter
Young and tender
Seemed 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
And prove to me what I could not prove to you
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
You just never care to show me
Showed him how to tango
And when they tangoed it'd send their hearts a flutter
Young and tender
Seemed 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
And prove to me what I could not prove to you

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. Ohh. And they're the things, momma You just never care to show me. Ohh.
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 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, ahh. It 'aint gonna be no good It keeps goin' 'round and 'round. You hurt me. Then I hurt you again. All that's left to do, ah. Is give it up, Ahhhhhh, No, no, give it up And surrender, Ahhhhhh, momma.
Sweet surrender. Sweet surrender. Surrender your love. Surrender love. Ohhhhhh, Surrender momma. Ohhhhhh, Surrender that love. Sweet. Sweet, sweet, sweet su-rre-rren-der, momma. In to love. To love. To love.
