i surrender, dear

aretha franklin

we 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

now

i may seem proud

i may act gay

but it's just a pose

oh

i'm not that way

cause 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

lending a spice to the wooing

oh

but i don't care who's to blame

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

oh

i

i surrender

dear

oh

yeah

yeah

i

oh

i surrender

yeah

dear

yeah

yeah
