I Confess Songtext
von Sarah Vaughan

Just out of spite
I confess I′ve ruined three lives
Don't sleep so tight
Because I didn′t care 'til I found out that one of them was mine

Night after night, time after time
Done too much of both types of whining
Still wasn't right, fight after fight
To get out of my life, get away from me, get away from that gun

No it′s not a joke, it′s cards on the table time
And I could have phoned, I could have spoke
But how to break the news without breaking your heart

Being dead don't hurt
No only dying
Cards on the table time
Sometimes it′s right to say goodnight

Always searching for paradise
I'll admit that I′m good as blind
Darling, I confess, yes I've ruined three lives
Did not care ′til I found out that one of them was mine


Confess
(Our love seems like a punishment)
And I confess
(If it's all the same to you I'll stay indifferent)

I confess, I confess
I confess
I confess, I confess
I confess

No-one wins and there′s no denying
Don′t pretend like you don't know why
Just a little word here, a little push there, darling
I confess, look I confess that I don′t really care

I confess, I confess
I confess

Out like a light, another boy who's given up trying
Blinded by fright, he screams my life′s not open
Please get out
I know I'm shouting, I like to shout

It′s not a joke, it's cards on the table time
And it's not a joke, it′s cards on the table time
And I could have phoned, I could have spoke
But how to break the news without breaking your heart


Being dead don′t hurt
No only dying
Cards on the table time
Sometimes it's right to say goodnight

Always searching for paradise
I′ll admit that I'm good as blind
Darling, I confess, yes I′ve ruined three lives
Did not care 'til I found out that one of them was mine

I confess
(I deserve some type of punishment)
I confess
(If it′s all the same to you I'll stay indifferent)

I confess, I confess
I confess
I confess, I confess
I confess

I confess, I confess
I confess
I confess, I confess
I confess
