I Surrender, Dear
Heart's Admission: Aretha Franklin's Tender Confession in 'I Surrender, Dear'
Lyrics
We've played the game of 'stay away'
We have engaged in the game of keeping a distance.
But it costs more than I can pay
But the emotional toll is more than I can bear.
Without you I can't make my way
Without you, I am unable to navigate through life.
I surrender, dear.
As a result, I submit myself to you, dear.
I may seem proud and I may act gay
Though I may appear confident and happy,
That's just a pose, I'm not that way.
It's a facade; I am not truly that way.
Cause deep down in my heart I say,
Deep inside, I confess my true feelings,
I surrender, dear.
Expressing my surrender to you, dear.
Those little mean things we were doing
The hurtful actions we engaged in were part of the relationship game.
Must have been part of the game
These actions may have added excitement to our courtship.
Lending a spice to the wooing
Infusing a certain charm into our pursuit of each other.
Oh, but I don't care who's to blame
However, I am indifferent to assigning blame.
When stars appear and shadows fall
As night falls and darkness surrounds,
Then you'll hear my poor heart call
You will hear my heart reaching out.
To you my love, my life, my all
Calling to you as my love, my life, my everything.
I surrender, dear
Reiterating my surrender, dear.
Oh, to you my love, my life, my all
Once again, affirming my surrender to you completely.
I surrender, dear
This is my sincere surrender to you, dear.
