Lyrics
Uh, uh, uh
Ooh-ooh
Uh-huh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Uh-uh-uh
Ooh-oh, no, ooh
Say what?
Ooh-ooh, no-no
Verse one
The day you pissed me off, I told Mike to pick me up
I told him you was buggin', and I don't like to fuss
He said he would look out for me if I needed a friend
He took me to his house and then he invited me in
Say what?
Then we sat on the couch, he put his arms around my waist
Knowin' I need lovin', then he gently grabbed my face
He kissed me like a guy could never kiss a girl before
So you know what happened, baby, I need to say no more
I'm just confessing
Confessing
'Bout the things I did
Oh, yeah
I might as well come clean
Yeah, yeah
What you feel about that, baby?
I'm just confessing
'Bout the things I did
Whoa-oh, oh-oh
I might as well come clean
Come clean
What you feel about that, baby?
I'm just guessing
Guessing, yeah
That you're through with me
'Cause I just came clean
Please, don't be through with me
What you feel about that, baby?
I'm just guessing
Are you through with me?
Are you through with me?
'Cause I just came clean
What you feel about that?
Verse two
Remember the time you wondered where your money went?
I called my friends and bought some clothes and took them on a trip
I met a dude that had a Jeep and we talked all the time
He asked me 'bout my man, and you know that I had to lie
He thought I had no man and I was chillin' by myself
Don't get mad, 'cause I felt sad, that's why I must confess
Too many times I wanted to let you know my dirt
But every time you said you loved me I knew it would hurt
I'm just confessing
Confessing, yeah
'Bout the things I did
Oh-whoa
I might as well come clean
Come clean, oh-ooh
What you feel about that, baby?
I'm just confessing
Confessing, yeah
'Bout the things I did
I might as well come clean
Come clean, hey
What you feel about that, baby?
Come clean, hey-yeah
I'm just guessing
That you're through with me
Are you through with me?
'Cause I just came clean
Came clean
What you feel about that, baby?
I'm just guessing
Guessing
Are you through with me?
(Are you through with me?)
'Cause I just came clean
What you feel about that?
Ooh, hey
I was mad
I was mad, what was I to do?
I never had it in mind to play on you
But look at all the hurt you put me through
I can't tell a lie, so I'm tellin' the truth
I was mad, what was I to do?
Say what?
I never had it in mind to play on you
But look at all the hurt you put me through
You know, you know
You know
I was mad, what was I to do?
I do
I never had it in mind to play on you
Play on you
But look at all the hurt you put me through
I can't tell a lie, so I'm tellin' the truth
I was mad, what was I to do?
I never had it in mind to play on you
But look at all the hurt you put me through
You know, you know
I'm just confessing
Confessing
'Bout the things I did
Things I did
I might as well come clean
Come clean
What you feel about that, baby?
I'm just confessing
Confessing
'Bout the things I did
Things I did
I might as well come clean
What you feel about that, baby?
I'm just guessing
That you're through with me
Are you through with me, oh?
'Cause I just came clean
Came clean
What you feel about that, baby?
I'm just guessing
Guessing
Are you through with me?
'Cause I just came clean
What you feel about that?
Confess
Come clean, boo
Yo, what you feel about that?

What you feel about that, baby?
I'm just guessing
Are you through with me?
Thou shalt not bug
