Sweet Surrender

What is wrong with the lyrics Neon_Like posted.... these are the correct lyrics!

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.

His voice is incredible.

i feel this is a song that is easily deciphered which is good as its nice to hear songs that sound so fluent as if it is just what the writer is thinking at the time. It's about a man talking about how the love he had with his wife/girlfriend had gone stale. He then reminisces (excuse my spelling im intoxicated) of how he wooed her originally and of how she changed the greatness they had. Some people may feel different but i feel no one is wrong as a song is whatever you take from it.

I agree with Ziggymetstardust. And I would add that I think it's a song Tim Buckley wrote about his marriage with Mary Guibert, whom he was married to once (they had a son named Jeff Buckley). Its only my interpretation, but the lyrics correspond to the reasons apparently why their marriage failed. I read that they married too young and for bad reasons (They thought that she was pregnant, and it turned that she wasn't). At the beginning they were really in love, but their young age, and the precipitation of the events following this suspicion of pregnancy made them move a step prematurely. Little by little, their behaviour changed both and Tim seemed to feel pressure from her. And Tim thirsted for adventure, was admired by a lot of beautiful ladies (he started his career), and maybe didn't want of a quiet little married life.
