Intro: A5  E5

A5                     E5
Now you wanna know the reason
A5              E5
Why I cheated on you
A5                E5
Well I had to be a hunter again
A5                     A5
This little man had to try
                  E5      D6(addE )
To make love feel new again
E5
'Cause there's just a few things honey
D6(addE )
I'm not old enough to do for you
               E5
And there are things, mama
D6(addE )                        E5
You just never care to show me
         Bb5        E5        Bb5            E5
So this flim flam lover boy found him a flamingo
Bb5       E5       Bb5               E5
And his flamingo showed him how to tango
Bb5             E5           Bb5                   E5
And when they tangoed it'd send their hearts a flutter
Bb5                   E5
Tease them till they stutter
          Bb5             E5
Made them so young and tender
Bb5         E5         Bb5        E5
Sweet to surrender in so sweet surrender
Bb5         E5
In sweet surrender
Bb5            E5    Bb5  E5
Ahh sweet surrender to love

A5                                                 E5
But now you're gonna go out and get yourself a reputation
    A5                                     E5
But I'm gonna have to show you where to start
A5                                             E5
And then you're gonna bring back your little reputation
     A5         A5               E5          D6(addE ) E5  D6(addE )
And prove to me what I could not prove to you
E5
'Cause I was just too young and hot
D6(addE )       E5
I was just too cold honey
         D6(addE )
Just too hot to care
            E5      A5          A5         E5
Ah just too hot to surrender, surrender to love
          A5      A5         E5
Sweet surrender surrender to love
                     A5  A5            E5
If we could just surrender love would heal the mess we made
                           E5
So give it up mama
It ain't gonna be no good to keep going round and round
E5              D6(addE )
You hurt me then I hurt you again
E5                    D6(addE )
All there's left to do is give it up
E5      D6(addE )
Give it up and surrender
E5                 D6(addE )
Sweet surrender Sweet surrender your love
To love... to love...
