Midnight Confessions Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
The sound of your footsteps
Tellin' me that you're near
Your soft gentle motion, babe
Brings out a need in me
That no one can hear except
[Chorus]
In my midnight confession
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confession
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you
[Post-Chorus]
But a little gold ring you wear on your hand
Makes me understand
There's another before me, you'll never be mine
I'm wastin' my time
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Staggerin' through the daytime
Your image on my mind
Passin' so close beside you, babe
Sometimes the feelings
Are so hard to hide, but
[Verse 1]
The sound of your footsteps
Tellin' me that you're near
Your soft gentle motion, babe
Brings out a need in me
That no one can hear except
[Chorus]
In my midnight confession
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confession
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you
[Post-Chorus]
But a little gold ring you wear on your hand
Makes me understand
There's another before me, you'll never be mine
I'm wastin' my time
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Staggerin' through the daytime
Your image on my mind
Passin' so close beside you, babe
Sometimes the feelings
Are so hard to hide, but
[Chorus]
In my midnight confession
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confession
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Post-Chorus]
There's a little gold ring you wear on your hand
That makes me understand
There's another before me, you'll never be mine
I'm wastin' my time
[Chorus]
In my midnight confession
When I'm tellin' the world that I love you
In my midnight confession
When I say all the things that I want to
[Outro]
Na, na-na, na, na, na-na-na
Na, na-na, na, na, na, na-na
Na, na-na, na, na, na-na-na
Na, na-na, na, na, na, na-na
Na, na-na, na, na, na-na-na
In my midnight confession
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confession
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Post-Chorus]
There's a little gold ring you wear on your hand
That makes me understand
There's another before me, you'll never be mine
I'm wastin' my time
[Chorus]
In my midnight confession
When I'm tellin' the world that I love you
In my midnight confession
When I say all the things that I want to
[Outro]
Na, na-na, na, na, na-na-na
Na, na-na, na, na, na, na-na
Na, na-na, na, na, na-na-na
Na, na-na, na, na, na, na-na
Na, na-na, na, na, na-na-na
About
Genius Annotation
The Grassroots biggest hit, from 1968, reached No. 5 on the billboard chart.
Apparently studio musicians played at the recording, while the Grassroots provided the vocals.
It was their first song with accompanying brass section, which initially they feared will hurt the chance of the song becoming a hit.
