Lyrics

VERSE: Last night Heartache threw a party and Lonely brought the beer
Mr. Blue showed up too what a festive atmosphere
I found Regret on my doorstep with Misery and Gloom
But even Wounded Pride took a step aside when I walked in the room

CHORUS: I was the Guest of Honor
The reason they all came
I was the Guest of Honor
Everybody knew my name

VERSE: They gathered round to listen while I told the tale
They all sympathized when you lied they cried when you went away
They told me to forget you but I never will
It was so profound we all sat around feeling sorry for ourselves

CHORUS: I was the Guest of Honor
At the bottom of the heap
I was the Guest of Honor
They all felt bad for me

VERSE: They drank up everything I had and they hollered out for more
We didn't have no fun but not a one made a move toward the door
I'm calling you to beg you won't you come back please
The morning sun is bright I'm afraid I might never get them all to leave

CHORUS: I am the Guest of Honor
Looks like Heartache's here to stay
I am the Guest of Honor
Mr. Blue won't go away

TAG: I'm sitting here
There's no more beer
Just Gloom and Misery
I'll be the Guest of Honor
Til you come back to me
Until you come back to me
