Two Sides To Every Story    (1967)

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'll 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 up to 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 were gonna stay out all night
And I told myself I ain't a puttin' up with 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'll 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 slouch
And I's downtown just to look 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'll 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'll tell mine

Lyrics by Bill Owens and Dolly Parton.
