Two Sides to Every Story Songtext
von Dolly Parton & Porter Wagoner

Two sides to every story
We can straighten this out, if we′ll take time
Two sides to every story
You tell yours and I tell mine

Well, where were you last night when I came home?
When I came in, you were out and gone
Well, I waited up till after two
Then I went downtown, to look for you
So, how's about tellin′ me where you were at?

Well, me and the boys stopped off for a drink, or two
Now, ain't you a pretty thing
Well, we got to drinkin', and I guess that time just flew
Well, the time must′ve flown for you alright
′Cause I thought you're gonna stay out all night
And I told myself "I ain′t puttin' up to that"


There′s always two sides to every story
We can straighten this out, if we'll take time
Two sides to every story
You tell yours and I tell mine

You said, you went downtown to look for me
Did you have to dress up fancy as could be?
You know I never leave the house
In old, tacky clothes, lookin′ like a slut
And I's downtown, just a lookin' my best for you

Now, I′m not accusin′ you of doin' wrong
But that′s awful late, for you to be out and gone
Now, look who's talkin′ 'bout bein′ late
And I wasn't about to sit and wait
While you were out there, with no tellin' who

There′s always two sides to every story
We can straighten this out, if we′ll take time
Two sides to every story
You tell yours and I tell mine

There's always two sides to every story
We can straighten this out, if we′ll take time
Two sides to every story
You tell yours and I tell mine
