YOU LEFT YOUR DOOR WIDE OPEN
(Glenn Sutton / Arthur Leo Owens)


Bob Luman - 1974





Think back on all those nights that you left her all alone
Then maybe you can understand why her love is gone
She had to hold to something and that cheatin' line's so thin
You left your door wide open, I didn’t break it in

Neglect has always been the biggest cause of broken hearts
And it wasn't my intention to tear your home apart
But flowers left unwatered, ah, get thirsty now and then
You left your door wide open, I didn't break it in

I didn't steal a thing from you, I don't care what you say
I just picked up the pieces of the love you threw away
Can you see she's happy now, the way she's never been
You left your door wide open, I didn't break it in
Yes, you left your door wide open, I didn’t break it in
