What does no te voy a engañar mean?

ExpressionColoquial

I'll be straight with you

A warning that something is coming which might not help the speaker's case. It almost never introduces a serious confession: usually it cushions a small awkward truth.

Para qué te voy a engañar, se me había olvidado.
Confession, with the sting taken out first.
