My True Confession - Re-Recording - 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
