True Confessions

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

True confessions on your answering machine
Thirty seconds to tell you what I mean

It 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
And now I've got something to tell you
You might want to hear, yeah

True confessions on your answering machine
Thirty seconds - I will try to keep it clean

But every time I hear your voice
It's hard, you 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
A 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
A 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
