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 an 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 Now I've got something to tell you You might want to hear 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 True confessions Here comes a heart attack Thirty seconds I will have to call you back
