Two Sides to Every Story Songtext
von Loleatta Holloway

There′s two sides to every story
Why should I believe you?
There's two sides to every story
Who said your story was true?

You′ve been gone for two or three days or more
Called and said you had a flu
Why didn't you bring your body home, boy?
So I could doctor on you

Oh, there's two sides to every story
Why should I believe you?
Oh, it′s two sides to every story
Three times your story fell through

Said you were goin′ out of town for business
Got a new deal you're tryin′ to make
Well, your boss called here and asked me, honey
If you were comin' in today


Oh, there′s two sides to every story
Oh, why should I believe you?
Honey, there's two sides to every story
Three times your story fell through

Oh boy, there′s two sides to every story
Tell me, why should I believe you?
Honey, there's two sides to every story
Three times your story fell through

I know that there's two sides (two sides to every story)
But why should I believe you? (Why should I believe you?)
Should I believe you? (Two sides to every story)
Hmm (three times your story fell through)
(Two sides to every story) ooh
(Why should I believe you?) Ahn, why should I?
(There′s two sides to every story)
Ooh there′s two sides (three times your story fell through)

Hi honey
Come on in, but-but wait, just before you go upstairs and unpack your clothes
Come here, I-I wanna talk to you
What's wrong baby?
What′s wrong? I'm gonna tell you what′s wrong


You know your boss called here today
And asked me if you were comin' in
I don′t understand
I can explain
No, you can't explain, how could you explain to me when you was supposed to be out of town on business

You heard the old saying; "What's good for the gander is good for the goose"?
Well, honey, it′s time for me to turn you loose
Well, baby, let me make it up to you
Make it up? There ain′t nothin' you can make up for the bed you been sleeping in
That′s right! 'Cause you see I, I know there′s two sides to every story

(Two sides to every story) ohh
Tell me why should I? (Why should I believe you?)
Tell me why? Tell me why? (Two sides to every story)
Why should I believe you? (Three times your story fell through)

Oh sugar, there's two sides (two sides to every story)
Oh why, should I, believe you? (Why should I believe you?)
There′s two sides (two sides to every story)
One, two, three, honey (three times your story fell through)

You know it's three strikes you out, y'all (two sides to every story)
Three strikes you out, and you did let one passed three strikes (why should I believe you?)
You three strikes and (two sides to every story)
And over ahead (three times your story fell through)
I mean, I don′t really understand myself for lettin′ you do me like this (two sides to every story)

You tell me there's two sides to every story (why should I believe you?)
Your own story is hella problem! (Two sides to every story)
My patience, I can′t stand it no more (three times your story fell through)
I'm just, I′m just so tired of this, I don't know what to do (two sides to every story)
I swear, I swear (why should I believe you?)

I just say to myself, I tell myself; "Loleatta, girl, you′re awfully great" (two sides to every story)
Takin' all this, from all the time (three times your story fell through)
Ow, oh, honey, there's two sides (two sides to every story)
One, two (why should I believe you?)
Why should I believe you? (Two sides to every story)
Honey (three times your)
