Confessions
莖츱廬큽북나考 Destiny's Child Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

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
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
About the things I did
I might-as-well come clean
What you feel about that baby
I'm just confessing
Bout the things I did
I might-as-well come clean
What you feel about that baby
I'm just guessing
That you through with me?
'Cause I just came clean
What you feel about that baby
I'm just guessing
Are you through with me?
'Cause I just came clean
What you, feel about that

(Verse 2)
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 feel 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
About some things I did
I might-as-well come clean
What you feel about that baby
I'm just confessing
Bout the things I did
I might-as-well come clean
What you feel about that baby
I'm just guessing
That you through with me?
'Cause I just came clean
What you feel about that baby
I'm just guessing
Are you through with me?
'Cause I just came clean
What you, feel about that

I was mad what was I to do
Never had any mind to play on you
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
Never had any mind to play on you
Look at all the hurt you put me through
You know, you know

I was mad what was I to do
Never had any mind to play on you
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
Never had any mind to play on you
Look at all the hurt you put me through
You know, you know

I'm just confessing
About some things I did
I might-as-well come clean
What you feel about that baby
I'm just confessing
Bout the things I did
I might-as-well come clean
What you feel about that baby
I'm just guessing
That you through with me?
'Cause I just came clean
What you feel about that baby
I'm just 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 uh
What you feel about that, confessing baby, misdemeanor,
Destiny, uh uh uh , we out 2-0-0- 0

I'm just guessing
That you through with me?
'Cause I just came clean
What you feel about that baby





Thou shall not bug

Overall Meaning

Confessions by Destiny's Child is a song about the singer's infidelity and the guilt she feels about it. The song's opening lines refer to a fight with her partner, which prompts her to call her friend Mike to seek comfort. Mike invites her in and they become intimate. The singer then confesses to her partner about her infidelity, hoping to absolve herself of the guilt she carries. Throughout the song, it becomes clear that the singer's actions were driven by the hurt and frustration she felt in the relationship.


The song is a bold departure from the typically uplifting pop tracks that Destiny's Child was known to produce. It deals with adult themes like infidelity, guilt, and the consequences of our actions. The lyrics are straightforward and honest, and the intention is clear - to own up to one's mistakes and come clean.
