I want surprises
I want surprises

Your sweet nature darling was too hard to swallow
I've got the solution I'm leaving tomorrow
And now as I stand and stare into your eyes
I see safety there I want surprises

What I really need to do is
Find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me who
Doesn't notice all the others
What I really need to do is
Find a brand new lover

When you wake up tomorrow you'll be all alone
All the love that we had I have quickly outgrown
I wanted to stay but I just couldn't do it
Couldn't stand there and put you through it

What I really need to do is
Find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me who
Doesn't notice all the others

What I really need to do is
Find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me who
Doesn't notice all the others

My other loves will tell you that
I'm nothing but a pleasure-seeker
Everyone's I really must agree

I need to leave you by yourself
And go in search of someone else
To satisfy my curiosity
