I cried all night the day that you left me.
You said you didn't love me anymore.
But I couldn't watch you go.
I was feelin' much too low.
I only heard the slammin' of the door.
 
Now you've come back sayin' that you're sorry.
I'll try to pick my heart up off the floor.
If you're really gonna stay
then I guess that that's okay,
but please don't make me cry anymore.
 
So don't slam that door if you're not leavin'
like you done so many times before.
No, don't slam that door if you're not leavin'
'cause I don't wanna cry anymore.
And if you're not gonna stay,
baby please just stay away.
I hate to hear the slammin' of the door.
 
 
I cried all night again when you left me
just like I did when you left me before.
Now you've come on back, my friend,
and you're sorry once again,
so sorry for the slammin' of the door.
 
Well, don't slam that door if you're not leavin'
like you done so many times before.
No, don't slam that door if you're not leavin'
'cause I don't wanna cry anymore.
And if you're not gonna stay,
baby please just stay away.
I hate to hear the slammin' of the door.
 
 
I cried all night each time that you left me
just like I did the other times before.
Now when you come back, my dear,
the only sound I ever hear
is the echo of the slammin' of the door.
 
So don't slam that door if you're not leavin'
like you done so many times before.
No, don't slam that door if you're not leavin'
'cause I don't wanna cry anymore.
And if you're not gonna stay,
baby please just stay away.
I hate to hear the slammin' of the door.
 
 
I didn't cry this time when you left me,
not like I did those other times before.
I know you'll come back again.
It's just a question of when.
I think I'll change the lock on our front door.
 
So don't slam that door if you're not leavin'
like you done so many times before.
No, don't slam that door if you're not leavin'
'cause I don't wanna cry anymore.
And if you're not gonna stay,
baby please just stay away.
I hate to hear the slammin' of the door.
 
No, I don't wanna cry anymore.
I just hate to hear the slammin' of that door.
