B.B. King
Confessin' the Blues
Written by - Jay McShann & Walter Brown
Yes, here I stand before you 
With my heart in my hand 
I want you to read it baby 
Hopin' that you understand 

And I said baby, honey, please don't dog me around 
Because I'd rather love you woman 
Honey, than anyone else I know in town 

Because you're so nice and lovin' 
And have such pleasin' ways 
If you take me to your heart 
I'll be there the rest of my days 

I said baby that's the truth 
Honey, I declare I wouldn't lie 
Because I'd rather love you baby 
If I don't I swear I hope to die 

I said baby
Don't you want a man like me? 
Can you hear me woman
Don't you want a man like me? 
You just think, you just think about our future, baby 
And you forget about your used to be 
Hey, now 

Yes
Alright

Well my days are long and dreary 
And the sun refuse to shine 
I will never be blue and lonely 
Woman, if I knew that you were mine 

That's the truth baby 
You can make everything alright 
Can I see you today baby
Or will it have to be tomorrow night? 

Yes, this is my confession baby 
And I'm thrilled by all your charms 
It seems that I'm in heaven 
When I hold you in my arms 

Baby, woman you can have me for yourself 
You know I was meant for you baby 
And I don't want nobody else, no I don't 

Yeah

Hey, you told me that you loved me woman 
You meant it from the start 
You said that we would be together 
Until death do us apart 

But you lied to me baby 
Yes and you called it only fun 
Now how can I be happy woman
With all the wrong you've done? 

Now must I keep confessin' baby 
When you know just where I stand 
I don't wanna lose you woman 
Wanna keep you if I can 

But baby, babe you know 
I've never had a break 
You're my one and only woman 
You're all I have at stake 
Now listen to me
