(The) Door Lyrics

Baby, when I think of all my yesterdays
When I dream about tomorrow
When I recount my joys
When I remember my sorrows

Sometimes a man's gotta say what he's gotta say
I ain't hangin' around no more
Tonight I'm picking up my Samsonite
And I'm walking right out the door

You know there's been some good times babe
Sure there's been some bad times too
But the worst time is gonna be tonight [Incomprehensible]
'Cause tonight I'm leaving you

Well, sometimes a man's gotta say what he's gotta say
Even if it's real bad news
Tonight I'm walking out that door
And I'm making love to a bottle of booze

Don't try and track me down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song. I seriously think it has to be one of the greatest songs ever made. It is obviously about a break up but everything about it rocks. The drums are mind-blowing, vocals are soooo good and the guitar is amazing!
