Confessin' the Blues

Baby, here I stand before you

With my heart in my hand

I want you to read it mama

Hoping that you'll understand

Well, babe, mama, please don't dog me 'round

I'd rather love you, baby

Than anyone else I know in town

Because you're so nice and lovin'

And you have such pleasing ways

If you take me to your home

Be there the rest of my days

That's the truth, Mama

Well you know I wouldn't lie

If I don't love you, baby

Well I swear I hope to die

Well baby, don't you want a man like me?

Well baby, don't you want a man like me?

He'll think only about you, girl

Forget about your used-to-be

When my days are long and dreary

And the sun refuse to shine

I would never be blue and lonely

If I knew that you were mine

Well baby, will you make everything all right?

Can I have you today, babe

Or will it be tomorrow night?

This is my confession, mama

And I'm thrilled by all your charms

Well it seems that I'm in heaven, mama

When you hold me in your arms

Well, baby, you can have me for yourself

You were meant for me, mama

I don't want nobody else
