Sweet Surrender Lyrics - Tim Buckley

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.
