We've played the game of, 'Stay away'   But it costs more than I can pay   Without you I can't make my way   I surrender, dear      I may seem proud and I may act gay   It's just a pose, I'm not that way   'Cause deep down in my heart I say   "I surrender, dear"      Little mean things we were doing   Must have been part of the game   Lending a spice to the wooing   Oh, but I don't care who's to blame      When stars appear and shadows fall   By then you'll hear my poor heart call   To you my love, my life, my all   I surrender, dear      Oh, to you my love, my life, my all   I surrender, dear
