confessin' the blues

baby

here i stand before you

with my heart in my hand

i put it to you mama

hoping that you'll understand

hey yeah

baby

mama

please don't dog me 'round

i would rather love you

baby

than anyone else i know in town

this is my confession

mama

and i fell by all your charm

it seems that i'm in heaven

mama

when you hold me in your arms

well

baby

can i have you for myself?

if i can't have you

baby

i don't want nobody else

oh

when my days are long and dreary

and the sun refuse to shine

i would never weep low and lonely

if i knew that you were mine

well

baby

make everything alright

and i have you too baby

or will it be tomorrow night

well

baby

don't you want a man like me

well

baby

don't you want a man like me

you think only about the future

forget it about your used to be
