Lyrics for I Surrender, Dear

We've played the game of stay away But it cost more than I can pay Without you, I can't make my way I surrender, dear Now, I may seem proud, and I may act gay But it's just a pose, oh, I'm not that way Because deep down, deep down in my heart, I say I surrender, dear Mmm, little mean things we were doing Must have been part of the game And lending a spice to the wooing Oh, but I don't care who's to blame, blame When stars appear and shadows fall Why then you'll hear my poor heart call? To you my love, my life, my all I surrender, dear Oh, I, I surrender, dear Oh, yeah, yeah, I Oh, I surrender, yeah, dear, yeah, yeah
