Confessions Part I
Usher · The Best of Usher Vol. 2 (with DJ Fine$$e) [2008]
Do you love me
Unconditionally
Say you'll never leave me
Or run away
I have a confession
[Chorus]
Everything that I've been doing is all bad
I got a chick on the side
With a crib and a ride
I've been telling to you so many lies
Ain't none good, it's all bad
And I just want to confess
It's been going on so long
Girl I've been doing you so wrong
And I want you to know that
Everything that I've been doing is all bad
I got a chick on the side
With a crib and a ride
I've been telling to you so many lies
Ain't none good, it's all bad
And I just want to confess
It's been going on so long
Girl I've been doing you so wrong
And I want you to know that
Everytime I was in L.A. I was with my ex-girlfriend
Everytime you called I told you baby, I'm working
Noo, I was out doing my dirt
Ohh, wasn't thinking about you getting hurt
I was hand in hand in the Beverly Center
Like man, not giving a damn to sees me
So gone, so wrong
Acting like I didn't have you sitting at home
Thinking about me, being the good girl that you are
I bet you probably believe you got a good man
I mean, I never would do the things I'm about to tell you I've done
Brace yourself, it ain't good
But it would be ever worse if you heard this from somebody else
[Chorus]
Everything that I've been doing is all bad
I got a chick on the side
With a crib and a ride
I've been telling to you so many lies
Ain't none good, it's all bad
And I just want to confess
It's been going on so long
Girl I've been doing you so wrong
And I want you to know that
Everything that I've been doing is all bad
I got a chick on the side
With a crib and a ride
I've been telling to you so many lies
Ain't none good, it's all bad
And I just want to confess
It's been going on so long
Girl I've been doing you so wrong
And I want you to know that
If I could turn back the hands of time and start all over, I would
Instead of everything being all bad
Baby, everything would be all good
I don't wanna lose you
But I know what I'm telling you ain't gonna make you wanna stay
You probably just wanna run away
Or mad enough to punch me in my face
I've been living like an idiot
And I deserve every bit of it
I know today is the day
That I end up lying in the plan of court shit
Girl, Im sorry, baby, Im sorry
But I can no longer walk around with this stress
On my chest, I confess
[Chorus]
Everything that I've been doing is all bad
I got a chick on the side
With a crib and a ride
I've been telling to you so many lies
Ain't none good, it's all bad
And I just want to confess
It's been going on so long
Girl I've been doing you so wrong
And I want you to know that
Everything that I've been doing is all bad
I got a chick on the side
With a crib and a ride
I've been telling to you so many lies
Ain't none good, it's all bad
And I just want to confess
It's been going on so long
Girl I've been doing you so wrong
And I want you to know that
If you break it down
Yeah, baby
Oh, baby
Dont leave me, baby
[Chorus]
Everything that I've been doing is all bad
I got a chick on the side
With a crib and a ride
I've been telling to you so many lies
Ain't none good, it's all bad
And I just want to confess
It's been going on so long
Girl I've been doing you so wrong
And I want you to know that
Everything that I've been doing is all bad
I got a chick on the side
With a crib and a ride
I've been telling to you so many lies
Ain't none good, it's all bad
And I just want to confess
It's been going on so long
Girl I've been doing you so wrong
And I want you to know that
Unconditionally

[Chorus]
Everything that I've been doing is all bad
