Two Sides to Every Story
Dolly Parton/Porter Wagoner Lyrics

Two sides to every story we can't stay this out if we'll take time
There are always different perspectives to a situation and it's important for us to take time to understand each other's side to resolve the issue.

Two sides to every story you tell yours and I tell mine
Both of us have different experiences and viewpoints and we should share them with each other openly to have a better understanding of each other.

Well where were you last night when I came home
I was looking for you when I arrived home last night

When I came in you were out and gone
When I came home, you were not there.

Well I waited up till up to two then I went downtown to look for you
I waited until 2 AM for you and then went downtown to look for you.

So how's about tellin' me where you were at
Can you please tell me where you were?

Well me and the boys stopped off for a drink or two
I went out with my friends for a few drinks.

(Now ain't you a pretty thing)
(sarcastically) Aren't you looking beautiful?

Well we got to drinkin' and I guess that time just flew
We lost track of time because we were enjoying the drinks and company.

Well the time must've flown for you alright
You must have had a really good time because it felt like less time to you.

Cause I thought you're gonna stay out all night
I thought you would stay out all night because you were having such fun.

And I told myself I ain't a puttin' up to that
I decided that I wouldn't accept this behavior from you.

You said you went downtown to look for me
You mentioned that you went downtown to look for me.

Did you have to dress up fancy as could be
Did you have to dress up so elaborately to find me?

You know I never leave the house you know jacky clothes lookin' like slut
You know that I never go out, so I didn't dress up like a slut at all.

And I's downtown just to look in my best for you
I dressed up nicely to look my best for you.

Now I'm not accusin' you of doin' wrong
I'm not blaming you for anything, just curious about what happened.

But that's awful late for you to be out and gone
However, it's unusual for you to be out so late.

Now look who's talkin' bout bein' late and I wasn't about to sit and wait
You're one to talk about being late, and I wasn't willing to wait around for you.

Why you were at that when with no tellin' who
Were you hanging out with people that you don't know?

There's always two sides to every story...
There's always a different perspective to every situation.
