Lyrics

[Chorus]
Hello Mr. Heartache, I've been expecting you
Come in and wear your welcome out the way you always do
You never say if you're here to stay or only passin' through
Hello Mr. Heartache, I've been expecting you
[Verse 1]
When I don't feel like company you make yourself at home
Even though you know I'd rather be alone
Love walked out on me, and didn't even close the door
Next thing I know I'm starin' at your shadow on the floor
[Chorus]
Hello Mr. Heartache, I've been expecting you
Come in and wear your welcome out the way you always do
You never say if you're here to stay or only passin' through
Hello Mr. Heartache, I've been expecting you
[Verse 2]
I wish that I could say it's nice to see you back again
We're not exactly strangers, but we're not exactly friends
You know you're not invited, but you keep on comin' round
Last thing that I need is you to kick me when I'm down
[Chorus]
Hello Mr. Heartache, I've been expecting you
Come in and wear your welcome out the way you always do
You never say if you're here to stay or only passin' through
Hello Mr. Heartache, I've been expecting you
[Outro]
I've been expecting you
I've been expecting you
I've been expecting you
