Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dear mister editor, won't you please
Print my story in your magazine?
Warn all the lovers how a cheating heart
Can only end up in misery
[Verse 2]
I was a lying, cheating fool
Treated her so cruel
Broke her heart and made her cry
Broke every rule and that's my
[Verse 3]
(True confession) She can read the story
(Read it in your magazine) That's my true confession
(True confession) But I'm sorry
(Sorry that I treated her so mean)
(Whoa, I'm sorry that I treated her mean)
[Verse 4]
I would call her up and apologize
If I was half the man I should be
But I'm afraid it's too late for that
'Cause I know she wouldn't listen to me
[Verse 5]
I was a lying, cheating fool
Treating her so cruel
Broke her heart and made her cry
Broke every rule and that's my
[Verse 6]
(True confession) She can read the story
(Read it in your magazine) Oh, that's my true confession
(True confession) Let her know that I'm
(Sorry that I treated her so mean)
(Whoa, I'm sorry that I treated her mean)
[Verse 7]
I would call her up and apologize
If I was half the man I should be
But I'm afraid it's too late for that
'Cause I know she wouldn't listen to me
[Verse 8]
I was a lying, cheating fool
Treating her so cruel
Broke her heart and made her cry
Broke every rule and that's my
[Verse 9]
(True confession) She can read the story
(Read it in your magazine) Oh, that's my true confession
(True confession) Let her know that I'm
(Sorry that I treated her so mean)
(Sorry that I treated her so mean)
