Trick Pony – Party Of One

(Ira Dean/Karen Staley/Doug Kahan)

Hey Babe

Remember all of those nights

When you told me that you had to work late

Think back

To the times you stood me up

And the countless broken dates

I got tired of the aggravation

So I made a reservation

A special evening I planned just for you

Party of one at a table for two

Waitin’ on me like I waited on you

I can just see you now

I can picture your face

Checkin’ your watch

Feelin’ so out of place

Now you’re gonna find out how it feels

To be so lonesome and blue

Bein’ a party of one at a table for two

Hey babe

By now you must be wonderin’

What the heck is taken’ so long

you think

I’m probably stuck in traffic

But boy you couldn’t be more wrong

I call and tell you that I’ll be later

I left a message with your waiter

Says, I hope you enjoy your night alone, bein’…

Party of one at a table for two

Waitin’ on me like I waited on you

I can just see you now

I can picture your face

Checkin’ your watch

Feelin’ so out of place

Now you’re gonna find out how it feels

To be so lonesome and blue

Bein’ a party of one at a table for two

Thought maybe messin’ with your mind

Might teach you a lesson this time

Surely you’re smart enough to know

You always reap what you sow

Party of one at a table for two

Waitin’ on me like I waited on you

I can just see you now

I can picture your face

Checkin’ your watch

Feelin’ so out of place

Now you’re gonna find out how it feels

To be so lonesome and blue

Bein’ a party of one at a table for two
