Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett

I'm so sorry
The sorriest man you've ever seen
When I lacked manners style and grace
I picked up the check to compensate

I followed you to a rave
With all intentions to behave
But my education failed, I was nearly impaled
Never even heard of Nine Inch Nails

My gin was no tonic after all
I heard you purrs turn to catcalls
Looked through Debrett's for some hand-me-downs
Woke up in a hair shirt and thorny crown

I'm so sorry
The sorriest man there's ever been
A well coifed fat head
On the body of a skeleton

Did I offend you
I was just trying to act like I care
You see I was spoiled then I was abandoned
A boy who was stuck-up and left there

That last scotch was anything but neat
I said things I should never repeat
I got sloppy serious and sentimental
I spilled my guts and my tux was a rental

Cause I'm the adorable horrible
I'm the adorable horrible
I'm the adorable horrible
Woe is me

Interpretation

Full of self pity, I don't feel adequate. On a date, I didn't know how to act at dinner, and when we went out to a rave, I was unprepared for how everyone was dancing. I had a gin and tonic but that didn't help. I tried to find stylish clothes on a budget, but I just embarrassed myself again. I ended up making a fool of myself. I drank too much and ended up throwing up on my rented tux.
