Tengo que darsela ya

I'm not sure if this says "I have to give it now". She was going to drug someone's food and said "Tengo que darsela ya" because she didn't want to do it, but knew she had to. I think of darse as darse cuenta, I don't think I've heard it outside that context. The dictionary says "yield oneself". I'm not quite sure what that is supposed to mean. How can you yield to yourself? Gracias.

Oh yeah. LE becomes se and whatnot. I was thinking of the darse yield oneself thing in our dictionary. I still don't get that one. - jeezzle, Jun 2, 2010
That one is like "darse por vencido" To yield oneself for defeated literally but practically it means "to give up." - 003487d6, Jun 2, 2010
