Lyrics for I Surrender Dear

We 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, I may act gay Oh, but it's just a pose, I'm not that way 'Cause deep down in my heart I say I surrender dear Yes, little mean things we were doing, baby Must have been part of the game Lending spice to the wooing Oh, but I don't care who's to blame, yes When night appears, shadows fall [Incomprehensible] mama, you'll hear my poor heart call To you my love, my life, my love, my all Oh, baby, I surrender dear
