 i surrender, dear
 
 for penny
 
 
 no matter what
 i might do
 to get you off my mind
 you just won t leave the premises
 
 & i don t know how to make it
 any clearer, you been
 gone so long
 that i should be done got
 
 over you by now
 but no, there you are
 in every motherfucking song
 that enters my brain, every day
 
 i want to call you
 on the phone & tell you
 i love you
 in so many words like that,
 
 i can t live without you,
 let's get back together,
 i want to marry you
 & stay with you
 
 for the rest of my life,
 let's move to new orleans
 & leave this place behind,
 i ll be true to you
 
 like i was so long
 when we were together,
 i don t want no-one else
 as long as i have you,
 
 these are the words
 i wish i could say, but my pride
 & the hard times we had
 make me hold my tongue,
 
 when you put me
 out i swore
 there d be no more going back
 & i been trying to make it
 
 without you so long
 that it's driving me crazy,
 no buts & no maybes:
 do you want me back,
 
 can you live without me,
 shouldn t we be together,
 can t we just swallow our foolish pride
 & stop questioning everything
 
 & face the facts for real
 you & me together,
 baby, all ways
 you & me
 
 
 i surrender dear
