True Love True Confession [The Babys featuring Ricky Phillips]

 

True Love True Confession
Written by Jonathan Cain, John Waite

I try to call ya
But I only get your service
You're the playmate of the year
So I guess that I deserve it
Well you left me with some habits
That are awful hard to kick
If you see me on your TV screen
You better come on over quick

Cause true love and true confessions
Are the same thing
Don't go and sell our secrets for a gold ring
Our love was ended quickly for the deadlines
Now you talk about me in the headlines

You're always seen in Paris
At the Central Fashion Show
You got a million lovers
And I can't forget your glow
Well each week was like a playing card
And I'm living in a dream
You were nothin' like I thought you were
But I'm nothin' like I seem

Cause true love and true confessions
Are the same thing
Don't go and sell our secrets for a gold ring
Our love was ended quickly for the deadlines
Now you talk about me in the headlines

You're so beautiful and clever
But you always have to scheme
Your reckless life will turn on you
Up along the silver screen
Oh yeah
This is true love

Cause true love and true confessions
Are the same thing
Don't go and sell our secrets for a gold ring
Our love was ended quickly for the deadlines
Now you talk about me in the headlines

Cause true love and true confessions
Are the same thing
Don't go and sell our secrets for a gold ring
Our love was ended quickly for the deadlines
Now you talk about me in the headlines

Interpretation

I must confess that I still love you, even after all that has happened.  You found fame and fortune quickly and left me behind. I can't even reach you, because your calls are screened.  You are beautiful and smart, but you are reckless and overly ambitious. You don't seem to care about me any more, or even what happens to me.
