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

That's just a pose, I'm not that way.

Cause deep down in my heart I say,

I surrender, dear.



Those 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

Then you'll hear my poor heart call

To you my love, my life, my all

I surrender, dear



------ instrumental break ------



Oh, to you my love, my life, my all

I surrender, dear
