you knew the story when we very first met
i look at you and see what i cannot forget
pour out another and i'll light a cigarette
open that wrap and we'll be friends again yet

my door is open you can come when you like
my door is open you can stay here all night
but promises i make for your consideration

you take your chances with a one night stand
it passes time although the conversation's bland
if you use your friends
and then their friends too
in the end the only one who's really used is you

my door is open you can come when you like
my door is open you can stay here all night

open your world and the duplicity of you
and you will find you've got the sympathy of few
so settle in and find the stories that you tell
will wrap you up inside the nightmares
that you dwell

my door is open you can come when you like
my door is open you can stay here all night
my invitation is for your deliberation
please don't condemn me because of my situation
i know you've spoken and you hate reiteration
but promises i make for your consideration

my door is open
