(dah,
dah) (dah, dah)

Dear Mr. Editor, wontcha please
Print my story in your
magazine?
Warn all the lovers how a cheating heart
Can only end up in
misery

I was a lyin', cheating fool
Treated her so cruel
Broke her
heart and made her cry
Broke every rule and that's my

(True
confession) she can read the story
(Read it in your magazine) that's my true
confession
(True confession) and I'm sorry
(Sorry that I treated her so
mean, oh oh, sorry that I treated her mean)

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

I was a lyin',
cheating fool
Treated her so cruel
Broke her heart and made her
cry
Broke every rule and that's my

True confession, she can read the
story
(Read it in your magazine) a-that's my true confession
(True
confession) let her know that I'm
(Sorry that I treated her so mean, oh oh,
sorry that I treated her mean)

I know her love was true
But I made
her cry time after time
Until one day she couldn't take it no more
She
said goodbye to me and walked straight out the door, so

Please Mr.
Editor, ask her for me
To take me back and give me a try
And I'll be
true, oh, so true
And I'll love her till the day I die

And that's
my
(True confession), she buys your magazine
(Read it in your magazine)
print the story, it's my
(True confession)
FADE
And I'm
sorry
