Song title: Outside lookin' in


Outside lookin' in

It's all over now, the things we had
I ain't sorry, girl, I just feel mad
You walk real pretty and you talk real fine
But night after night babe I'm on the line
My life's the same story, again and again
I'm on the outside looking in (I'm on the outside looking in)

Well every day just brings the same
You go out looking for some strange new games
Pretty soon them games ain't fun anymore
And it's something else that you're looking for
You've got all the answers, you and your friends
And I'm on the outside looking in (I'm on the outside looking in)
Yes I'm on the outside looking in
Whoa!

Now you've got the pretty things you want
The sins of the angels baby they will haunt
Those pretty eyes that they all adore
But baby not me, not anymore
I do what I want to, I'll be what I am
I'm on the outside looking in (I'm on the outside looking in)
Yeah I'm on the outside looking in (I'm on the outside looking in)
Baby yes I am (I'm on the outside looking in)
Ah baby yes I am (I'm on the outside looking in)
Well baby I'm on the outside looking in

Outside lookin' in

It’s over now, the thing we had
I ain’t sorry, babe, I just feel mad
You walk real pretty and you talk real fine
Night after night you wrote the lines

My life’s the same story
Again and again
I’ m on the outside looking in
On the outside looking in

Hey, make-believe ain’t real
I don’t doubt the way I feel
You walk real pretty and you talk real sweet
Well babe I was born in the driving seat

My life’s the same story
Again and again
I’ m on the outside looking in
On the outside looking in
Yes I’ m on the outside looking in

It’s over now, the thing we had
I ain’t sorry, babe, I just feel mad
You walk real pretty and you talk real fine
Night after night you wrote the lines

My life’s the same story
Beginning to end
Beginning to end
I’ m on the outside looking in
On the outside looking in
Yes I’ m on the outside looking in
Yes I am
Yes I guess I am
Baby I’ m on the outside looking in
