Hear My Confession
Words and Music by
Stan Anderson

I know you’ve only known me for a little while, it’s true
So I understand if you have your doubts about the way I feel for you
When I sing you love songs, can you tell you’re everything I hold dear
Or do you think I’m just saying pretty words a woman likes to hear?

There are so many guys around with their little games to play
And sure, they’ll promise you their love forever and a day
But what I’m feeling now I’m finding hard to find the words to say
So if you’ll just listen with your heart, I’m asking you today.

Chorus

Hear my confession, accept my guilty plea
Show me no mercy, you can throw the book at me
Sentence me to life as your lovin’ man
No ball and chain, just a golden band
Hear my confession, then darlin’, don’t ever set me free.

You won’t need iron bars to hold me, just your soft fingertips
I’ll never stray or try to break away from the touch of your sweet lips
You won’t need to post a sentry when it’s time to dim the lights
All you’ll need is you right here with two lovin’ arms to hold me tight.

Chorus

Hear my confession, down on bended knee
Show me no mercy, honey you can throw the book at me
Sentence me to life as your lovin’ man
No ball and chain, just a golden band
Hear my confession, then darlin’, don’t ever set me free.

Tag: Hear my confession, then darlin’, don’t ever set me free.
Don’t ever set me free.
