What Doors Are For

lyrics

WHAT DOORS ARE FOR

Told you that I'd write this song for you
You always knew just what I would do
I've always stood outside of your door
I'm the one that knows what doors are for
Chased your love all over the place
Gotten used to doors getting slammed in my face
Took it then but I can’t take anymore
I'm the one who knows what the door is for

You want to follow me
But there ain’t nothing is free
Out here on the dirty dance floor
You better just turn around
You don't want to follow me down
Down and down and down through the open door

One door closes and another gets shown
Lately I’ve been closing some doors of my own
You been drifting far from the shore
Maybe you never learned what doors are for

Here's a number wont you give it a try
It's not mine it might help you get by
Don’t nobody know just what's in store
Maybe you ought to learn what doors are for
