I Confess

English Beat

Just out of spite,

I confess I've ruined three lives

Now don't sleep so tight

Because I didn't care till I found out that one of them was mine.



Night after night time time after time.

Done too much of both types of whining.

Still wasn't right fight after fight

Till--Get out of my life get away from me get away from that gun



No it's not a joke it's cards on the table time

Yes I could have phoned

I could have wrote

But how to break the news without beaking your heart

Being dead don't hurt,

No only dieing

Cards on the table time,

Sometimes it's right to say goodnight.



Always searching for paradise,

I'll admit that I'm good as blind

Darling I confess yes I've ruined three lives

And didn't care till I found out that one of them was mine.



I confess

Our love seems like a punishment

And I confess,

If it's all the same to you I'll stay indifferent



I confess I confess I confess

I confess I confess I confess.



No-one wins and there's no denying,

Don't pretend like you don't know why,

Just a little word here a little push there Darling

I confess look I confess that I don't really care



I confess I confess I confess.



Out like a light,

Another boy who's given up trying,

Blinded by fright,

He scream my life's not open,

Please get out,

I know I'm shouting,

I like to shout.



It's not a joke it's cards on the table time

It's not a joke it's cards on the table time

I could have phoned

I could have wrote

But how to break the news without beaking your heart

Being dead don't hurt,

No only dieing

Cards on the table time,

Sometimes it's right to say goodnight.



Always searching for paradise,

I'll admit that I'm good as blind

Darling I confess yes I've ruined three lives

And didn't care till I found out that one of them was mine.
