I Surrender Dear

Lyrics

Madonna:
Pride's that splendid liar
Sworn enemy of love

Jennifer:
Kept my lips from saying
Things my heart was thinking of

Madonna:
But now my pride you've humbled
I've cast it to the winds

Jennifer:
Broken
Beaten
Sick at heart

Madonna & Jennifer:
Our compassion begins

Madonna:
We played the game
Of stay away
But it costs more
Than I can pay
Without you I can't make my way
I surrender dear

Jennifer:
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

Madonna:
Little mean things we were doing
Must have been part of the game
Lending a spice to the wooing

Madonna & Jennifer:
But I don't care who's to blame
When stars appear
When stars appear
And shadows fall
And shadows fall
Why then you'll hear
Why then you'll hear
My poor heart call

To you my love, my life, my all
I surrender dear

Song

In the 1989 comedy-drama Bloodhounds Of Broadway, directed by Howard Brookner, Madonna plays the dishy lounge singer Hortense Hathaway. Actrice Jennifer Grey plays Lovey Lou. During one scene they sing this song "I Surrender Dear", an old Bing Crosby song which is a nice illustration of the 1920's Broadway, that is also presented in the movie.
