I Confess
Randy Owen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
In Randy Owen's song "I Confess", the singer is expressing his deep love and admiration for his significant other. He describes how he showed up at her doorstep with gifts, including roses, candy, and his guitar, hoping to serenade her with love songs.

The phrase "crimes of passion" suggests that he is willing to take a risk with her and commit to her wholeheartedly.

Whisper to me softly,
Breathe words upon my skin

Lying here beside youI hear the echos of your sighs
Promise me you'll stay with meand keep me warm tonight

His voice in this version brings me to tears. This is real music here people. This kind of stuff really hits in a different way. Just like Diamond Rio - One More Day

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.

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!!!!!

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.
