My True Confession Lyrics By Brook Benton

    dear mr 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 lyin’ cheating fool
    i 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 i’m sorry that i treated her mean

    now 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 lyin’ 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
    print the story it’s my

    true confession
    and i’m sorry
    sorry that i treated her so mean
    oh i’m sorry that i treated her mean

    i know her love was true
    but i made her cry so many times
    until one day she couldn’t take it no more
    she said goodbye to me
    and walked straight out the door

    so please mr 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 can read the story
    read it in your magazine
    print the story it’s my

    true confession
    i’m sorry
    sorry that i treated her so mean
    oh true confession
    an’ she can read it your magazine

    that’s my
    true confession
    and i’m sorry sorry
    sorry that i treated her so mean
    hey hey
