Confessions
Destiny's Child feat. Missy Elliott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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? 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 feel sad that's why I must confess
So 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?
I 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?
I 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, one time, destiny
Thou shall now burn
The lyrics of Destiny's Child's song Confessions are a confession of the singer about her infidelity towards her partner while also expressing her remorse and willingness to come clean. The song is a conversation of sorts with her partner, where she narrates two different incidents of her disloyalty towards him. The first incident featured her going off with a man named Mike after fighting with her partner. Mike offers her comfort and tenderness, leading them to kiss and presumably sleep together. The second incident saw her shopping and going on a trip with friends while lying to her partner about her whereabouts, meeting a man while there and deceiving him as well. She admits that she wanted to confess before but couldn't because of her love for him, but now she has come clean and is willing to face the consequences.
Line by Line Meaning
The day you pissed me off I told Mike to pick me up
When you upset me, I called Mike for a ride
I told him you was buggin' and I don't like to fuss
I explained that you were bothering me and I don't like conflict
He said he would look out for me if I needed a friend
Mike kindly offered to help me if I needed a friend
He took me to his house and then he invited me in
Mike took me to his house and welcomed me inside
Then we sat on the couch, he put his arms around my waist
We sat on the couch and he held me close
Knowin' I need lovin' then he gently grabbed my face
He knew I needed affection and gently held my face
He kissed me like a guy could never kiss a girl before
His kiss was so special that no other guy could compare
So you know what happened baby, I need to say no more
You can guess what happened next, no need for me to explain
Remember the time you wondered where your money went
Do you recall when you were unsure where your money went?
I called my friends and bought some clothes and took them on a trip
I used the money to buy clothes and take my friends on a trip
I met a dude that had a jeep and we talked all the time
I met a guy with a Jeep and we talked frequently
He asked me 'bout my man and you know that I had to lie
He asked about my boyfriend, and I had to tell a lie
He thought I had no man and I was chillin' by myself
He believed I was single and enjoying time alone
Don't get mad 'cause I feel sad that's why I must confess
Don't be angry, but I need to confess because it's been weighing on me
So many times I wanted to let you know my dirt
There were many occasions when I wanted to tell you my wrongdoing
But every time you said you loved me, I knew it would hurt
But every time you expressed your love, I knew it would be painful to admit
I was mad, what was I to do?
I was angry and didn't know what to do
Never had any mind to play on you
I never intended to deceive you
Look at all the hurt you put me through
Consider all the pain you caused me
You know, you know
You are well-aware
Confess, come clean boo, yo, what you feel about that?
Admit the truth, come clean, what's your reaction?
What you feel about uh, what you feel about that?
What are your thoughts on the situation?
Confessing baby, misdemeanor
Confessing my wrongdoing, it's a minor offense
Destiny, uh uh uh, we out 2 0 0 0, one time, destiny
Destiny's Child, we're leaving 2000, one time, Destiny
I'm just confessing about some things I did
I'm admitting to some things I've done
I might as well come clean, what you feel about that baby?
I might as well tell the truth, what do you think about that?
I'm just confessing 'bout the things I did
I'm just admitting to the things I've done
I'm just guessing that you through with me
I'm just assuming that you're done with me
'Cause I just came clean, what you feel about that baby?
Since I just told the truth, what do you think about that?
I'm just guessing, are you through with me?
I'm just wondering if you're finished with me
Confess, come clean boo, yo, what you feel about that?
Admit the truth, come clean, what's your reaction?

Beyoncé rode this beat like a rapper. Rap-singing at its finest. 🔥
@jamcakes100
This song is everything, Beyonce slayed as usual, Kelly killed the chorus and LeToya gave me life on the bridge & Toya and Tavia's Harmonies always on point. This is why this was the best line up in my eyes. Love this album!!!!
@angelacooper8973
I don’t hear Kelly at all in this song. Either she’s singing low or LeToya is drowning her out. All I hear is Beyonce and LeToya showing out.
@tamikad3535
@Angela Cooper I'm the opposite, all I hear is Kelly
@brandygee9954
