Mr. Guilty Songtext

von Loudon Wainwright

Call me Mr. Guilty
Mr. Guilty is my name
Without a doubt it's all my fault
I am the one to blame

You say that you're unhappy
I do believe it's true
And I'm the one, the no-good bum
That did it all to you

I'm so sorry, sorry as a man can be
I'm so guilty, this is my apology

You have been a victim
A pawn in my cruel game
I done you wrong
I strung you along
And now I'm full of shame
To compensate for damage done
There's not much I can do
So I sit and I drink
And I sit and I think
About all I've done to you

You're a martyr to take it all this time
I'm a villain, guilty of a dreadful crime

All your tearful logic
Finally made me see
I deserve the shame, I deserve the blame
The guilt belongs to me
You're innocent and you are pure
As pure as driven snow
You've been had, I'm a cad
At least at last I know
