we played the game of stay away
but it cost more than i can pay
without you i cant make my way
i surrender dear
now i may seem proud and i may act gay
but its just a pose oh im 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 dont care whos to blame blame
when stars appear and shadows fall
why then youll 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
