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, baby, mama, please don't dog me 'round

Well, I'd rather love you, baby, than anyone else I know in town

Because you're so nice and loving and you have such pleasing ways

If you'll take me to your home, be there the rest of my days

That's the truth, mama, now 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?

You think on our future, forget about your used-to-be

When my days are long and dreary and the sun refuse to shine

I will never be blue and lonely just to know that you are mine

Well, baby, will you make everything alright?

Can I meet you today, baby, or will it be tomorrow night?

This is my confession, mama, and I'm thrilled by all your charms

And I feel like I'm in heaven when you hold me in your arms

Well, baby, you can have me for yourself

You belong to me, mama, I don't want nobody else
