Look at me, I've been senseless
Oh, that's not the state I'm normally in
What's come over me, baby
I don't understand it
Looks like I've lost my sense, oh, yeah
Looks like you are playing to win
Seems like all I can do
Is surrender my heart to you
Never thought I would be admitting defeat

I confess
You've got me falling for you, yeah
I confess
That I'm in much too deep
To ever get away, yeah
I confess
You've got me falling for you, yeah
I confess
That I'm in much too deep
To ever get away, yeah

Looks like I'll be your prisoner
Oh, that's not the part I intended to play
How'd this happen, oh, baby
Is not how I planned it
No, I'm giving up all my freedom
Go ahead and take it away
Giving too much love
Darling, that's what I give to you
And that way that I feel
It can't be concealed

I confess
You've got me falling for you, yeah
I confess
That I'm in much too deep
To ever get away, yeah
I confess
I'm loving what you're doing, yeah
I confess
That I'm in much too deep
To ever get away, yeah

I'm giving up, baby, I'm giving in
Why should I fight, it's a fight I can't win
My love for you, it's everything I can't hide
I hope you give me a lot of love

Baby

I confess
You've got me falling for you, yeah
I confess
That I'm in much too deep
To ever get away, yeah, yeah
I confess
I'm loving what you're doing, yeah
I confess
That I'm in much too deep
To ever get away, yeah, oh-oh...

I confess
I'm loving what you're doing, yeah
I confess
Oh-oh, don't wanna get away, no
Don't wanna get away, no, oh-oh...

I confess
I'm loving what you're doing, yeah
I confess
That I'm in much too deep
To ever get away, yeah

I don't wanna get away, no
'Cause I'm loving what you're doing, yeah...
