True Confessions
Honey, I have a confession to make:
I am merely human and made a mistake;
Twice I’ve cheated on you, quite honestly -
Both times when we played Monopoly.
Dear, I cannot live with this lie;
I wandered off, now I’ll tell you why;
The other night when I said I was working late -
I went to a restaurant for a high cholesterol plate.
Lover, there is something I must tell;
I haven’t always behaved so swell;
I have lusted in my heart -
For you on nights we’ve been apart.
Sweetie, the truth I must let out;
Please don’t cry and please don’t shout;
I haven’t always been honest with you -
I love your red dress but not the blue.
I hope my indiscretions don’t make you sad;
I know cheating and wandering is awful bad;
A better man I’ll try to be -
If another chance you’ll grant me.
