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

I may seem proud, 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
I don't care who's to 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

Little mean things we were doing
Must have been part of the game
Lending a spice to the wooing
And I don't care who's to 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
