[Chorus]
Two doors down, they're laughing and drinkin'
And having a party two doors down
They're not aware that I'm around
But I here I am crying my heart out, feeling sorry
They're having a party two doors down

[Verse 1]
I think I'll dry these useless tears and get myself together
I think I'll wander down the hall and have a look around
'Cause I can't stay inside this lonely room and cry forever
I think I'd really rather join 'em two door down, yeah

[Chorus]
Two doors down, they're laughing and drinkin'
And having a party two doors down
They're not aware that I'm around
Here I am, no longer crying and feeling sorry
They're having a party two doors down

[Verse 2]
I can't believe I'm standing here, dry-eyed, all smiles and talking
Making conversation with the new love I have found
I asked him if he'd like to be alone and we start walkin'
Down the hall to my place waiting two doors down, yeah

[Chorus]
Two doors down, they're laughing and drinkin'
And having a party two doors down
We're not aware that they're around
But I here I am feeling everything but sorry
We're having our own party two doors down

[Breakdown]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Two doors down
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Two doors down
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Two doors down
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Two doors down, oh

[Chorus]
Two doors down, they're laughing and drinkin'
And having a party two doors down
We're not aware that they're around
Here we are feelin' everything but sorry
We're having our own party two doors down

[Chorus]
Two doors down, they're laughing and drinkin'
And having a party two doors down
We're not aware that they're around
Here we are feelin' everything but sorry
We're having our own party two doors down

Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
