I Confess
Randy Owen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I showed up last night with roses and candy
New cologne and my old guitar
I sang you love songs and we got buzzed on brandy
I never really dreamed you'd let me take it this far

I confess, girl, I'm guilty of crimes of passion, I plead no contest
I'm your prisoner, do what you want with me, yeah
Lock me up, no, I won't protest
I'm gonna steal your heart, baby, I confess

Lord knows I've never been a big heart breaker
Matter of fact most girls will say I'm shy
But I bet with you I'd be a sweet love maker
I've never seen nothin' like you in all of my life

I confess, girl, I'm guilty of crimes of passion, I plead no contest
I'm your prisoner, do what you want with me, yeah
Lock me up, no, I won't protest
I'm gonna steal your heart, baby, I confess

I confess, girl, I'm guilty of crimes of passion, I plead no contest
I'm your prisoner, do what you want with me, yeah
Lock me up, no, I won't protest




I'm gonna steal your heart, baby, I confess
Steal your heart, baby, I confess

LET ALL SING ALONG!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG
Lyrics....
Whisper to me softly,
Breathe words upon my skin
No one's near and listening
So please, don't say goodbye

Just hold me close and love me
Press your lips to mine
Mmmm, Mmmm feels so right feels so right

Lying here beside youI hear the echos of your sighs
Promise me you'll stay with meand keep me warm tonight
So hold me close and love me,give my heart a smile
Mmmm, Mmmm feels so right feels so right

Your body feels so gentle,and my passion's rising high
You're loving me so easy...your wish is my command
Just hold me close and love me,tell me it won't end
Mmmm, Mmmm feels so right feels so right feels so right

No auto tune here folks. Close your eyes and his voice can take you back in time.. This man is a legend. Blessed to have had so many songs from him and his cousins.

For a guy who grew up on classic rock and blues rock, I was never much of a country fan, but anytime I heard Randy Owen’s voice on the radio, the station did not get changed. These guys were special.

Scotabot

God gave Randy Owen so much raw talent that it's almost scary. This man has sold over 75 million records and created one of the all time best groups in music today. Not just country music, but music period. His music crosses all genre's. Them Fort Payne cousin's got it going on!!!!!!!! Thank You Randy, Teddy and Jeff!!!!!

Carol Leverton

I love albama with all my heart. My wife and I went to see them.

Randy Owens and Alabama, to this day, still one of the most recognizable, smooth, purest, and rawest of vocalist ever. Their songs are truly timeless.
