Two Doors Down
Dolly Parton · Best Of
TheyÂ’re laughing and drinking and having a party
Two doors down
TheyÂ’re not aware that IÂ’m around
But here I am crying my heart out feeling sorry
But theyÂ’re having a party just two doors down
I think IÂ’ll dry these useless tears
And get myself together
I think IÂ’ll wander down the hall and have a look around
Cause I canÂ’t stay inside this lonely room and cry forever
I think IÂ’d really rather join them two doors down.
Two doors down
TheyÂ’re laughing and drinking and having a party
Two doors down
TheyÂ’re all aware that IÂ’m around
Cause here I am no longer crying and feeling sorry
Having a party just two doors down
I canÂ’t believe IÂ’m standing here dry eyed, all smiles, and talking
Making conversation with the new love I found
I asked him if heÂ’d like to be alone and we start walking
Down the hall to my place late
Two doors down.
Two doors down
TheyÂ’re laughing and drinking and having a party
Two doors down
WeÂ’re not aware that theyÂ’re around
Cause here I am feeling everything but sorry
Having a love party two doors down
