These are my confessions
Just when I thought I said all I can say
My chick on the side said she got one on the way
These are my confessions
Man I'm throwed and I don't know what to do
I guess I gotta give you part two of my confessions
If I'm gonna tell it then I gotta tell it all
Damn near cried when I got that phone call
I'm so throwed and I don't know what to do
But to give you part two of my confessions

Now this gon' be the hardest thing I think I ever had to do
Got me talkin' to myself askin' how I'm gon' tell you
'Bout that chick on part one I told ya'll I was creepin' with, creepin' with
Said she's three months pregnant and she's keepin' it
The first thing that came to mind was you
Second thing was how do I know if it's mine and is it true
Third thing was me wishin' that I never did what I did
How I ain't ready for no kid and bye bye to our relationship

These are my confessions
Just when I thought I said all I can say
My chick on the side said she got one on the way
These are my confessions
Man I'm throwed and I don't know what to do
I guess I gotta give you part two of my confessions
If I'm gonna tell it then I gotta tell it all
Damn near cried when I got that phone call
I'm so throwed and I don't know what to do
But to give you part two of my confessions

See when this stuff goes through be tryna figure out
When, what, and how I'ma let this come out of my mouth
Said it ain't gon' be easy
But I need to stop thinkin', contemplatin'
Be a man and get it over with (over with)
I'm ridin' in my whip
Racin' to her place
Talkin' to myself
Preparin' to tell her to her face
She open up the door and didn't want to come near me
I said "one second baby, please hear me"

These are my confessions
Just when I thought I said all I can say
My chick on the side said she got one on the way
These are my confessions
Man I'm throwed and I don't know what to do
I guess I gotta give you part two of my confessions
If I'm gonna tell it then I gotta tell it all
Damn near cried when I got that phone call
I'm so throwed and I don't know what to do
But to give you part two of my confessions

This by far is the hardest thing I think I've ever had to do
To tell you, the woman I love
That I'm having a baby by a woman that I barely even know
I hope you can accept the fact that I'm man enough to tell you this
And hopefully you'll give me another chance
This ain't about my career
This ain't about my life
It's about us (Please)

These are my confessions
Just when I thought I said all I can say
My chick on the side said she got one on the way
These are my confessions
Man I'm throwed and I don't know what to do
I guess I gotta give you part two of my confessions
If I'm gonna tell it then I gotta tell it all
Damn near cried when I got that phone call




I'm so throwed and I don't know what to do
But to give you part two of my confessions

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Usher's "Confessions" tell the story of a man facing the consequences of his infidelity. The song is divided into two parts, with Usher confessing his wrongdoings in the first part and then having to reveal the news of his mistress's pregnancy in the second part. Usher expresses his confusion and dismay, not knowing what to do or how to handle the situation.


In the first part, Usher admits that he thought he had said all he could say about his past actions, only to have his side chick inform him that she is pregnant with his child. He feels overwhelmed and unsure of how to proceed. The phone call delivers a blow, as Usher nearly cries upon hearing the news. He is so lost in his emotions that he feels compelled to share a part two of his confessions.


In the second part, Usher grapples with the difficult task of telling his partner about the baby on the way. He struggles with the timing and the best way to communicate the situation. He races to her place, talking to himself and trying to prepare for the conversation. When she opens the door, she doesn't want to come near him, but he pleads with her for just a moment to explain.


Overall, the song captures the intense emotional turmoil experienced by a man who must confront the consequences of his actions and reveal a painful truth to the person he loves.
