Songtexte My True Confession - Brook Benton

Dear Mister Editor
Won't you please print my story in your magazine?
Warn all the lovers how a cheating heart
Can only end up in misery
I was a lying, cheating fool
Treated her so cruel
Broke her heart and made her cry
Broke every rule

And that's my true confession
She can read the story
Read it in your magazine
That's my true confession
True confession
And I'm sorry
Sorry that I treated her so mean
Oh, sorry that I treated her mean

I would call her up and apologize
If I was half the man I should be
But I'm afraid it's too late for that
'Cause I know she wouldn't listen to me
I was a lying, cheating fool
Treated her so cruel
Broke her heart and made her cry
Broke every rule

And that's my true confession
She can read the story
Read it in your magazine
That's my true confession
True confession
Let her know that I'm
Sorry that I treated her so mean
Oh, sorry that I treated her mean

I know her love was true
But I made her cry time after time
Until one day, she couldn't take it no more
She said goodbye to me and walked straight out the door

So please, Mister Editor, ask her for me
To take me back and give me a try
And I'll be true, oh, so true
And I'll love her till the day I die

And that's my true confession
She buys your magazine
Read it in your magazine
Print the story, it's mine
True confession
And I'm sorry
Sorry that I treated her so mean
