Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

I Surrender, Dear

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
