[Verse 1]
Confess (Confess, confess)

[Verse 2]

[Verse 3]
Confеss (Confess, confess)
Pleasе don't make me guess (Don't make me guess)

[Chorus]
How long can I go waiting?
For a tender word from you
The sweetest rose starts fading
When the sunshine won't come through
[Verse 3]
Confess (Confess, confess)
Please don't make me guess (Don't make me guess)
If you really care for me (If you should care)
Then darling confess
