Al Hibbler - I Surrender, Dear lyrics

Pride, sad, splendid liar Sworn enemy of love Kept my lips from saying Things I was thinking of But now my pride you've humbled I've cast it to the winds Broken, beaten, sick at heart My confession begins We've played the game of stay away But it cost more that 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 But 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 We've played the game of stay away But it cost more that 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 But 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
