[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Refrain]
Oh, to you my love, my life, my all
I surrender, dear
