True Confessions Songtext
von Tommy Shaw

I must have made some impression
To scare you away
Here′s a little true confession
I didn't know what to say
But now I′m gonna call your number
I'm ready to explain

True confessions
On an answering machine
Thirty seconds
To tell you what I mean

Must have been some kind of party
The way I feel today
I was working on getting my nerve up
I guess I got carried away
But now I got something to tell you
You might wanna hear, yeah


True confessions
On your answering machine
Thirty seconds
I will try and keep it clean

Every time I hear your voice
It's hard to know
It makes me feel obscene
And are you really there
Listening to me
Oh God I hate these things
But I guess it′s the way it must be

So here′s my message
Here's the time
Here′s my number
Here's what′s on my mind

Oh baby, true confessions
On your answering machine
Therapeutic session
If you know just what I mean


I really wish I'd worked my words out
Before I dialed the phone
It′s nice to have a chance to do that
Before they're etched in stone
At any rate a true confession
Is waiting for the tone

Oh, true confessions
On your answering machine
Therapeutic session
If you know just what I mean

True confessions
Here comes a heart attack
Thirty seconds
I will have to call you back
