The Outside Looking In

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm on the outside lookin' in

But I like it this way

Here on the outside lookin' in

I see the games that they play

I'm on the outside lookin' in

But I don't really care

Here in the outside lookin' in

'Long as I get my share

You know that I'll take my share

When it's late at night

They blow out the light

And although they might be sleein'

If they hear a sound

I may be around

And they know I could be creepin', (creepin' creepin')

They must be aware

If they think I'm there, it's a very scary feelin'!

Lyin' in their beds

Running through their heads

Is one thought-what is he stealin'?

I'm on the outside lookin' in

But I like it this way

Here on the outside lookin' in

I see the games that they play

I'm on the outside lookin' in

But I don't really care

Here in the outside lookin' in

'Long as I get my share

You know that I'll take my share

I can hear then tell

I'm a hound of hell

As they get the smell of danger

As I'm coming near

I can taste their fear

Of the dark and deadly stranger

They know who I am

I don't give a damn

I could lead ev'ry lamb to the slaughter

So be on your guard

For my calling card

And be sure, to lock up your daughters

They keep us outside lookin' in

My sister and me

And if we're outside lookin' in

That's the way it will be

We're on the outside lookin' in

But we don't really care

Here on the outside lookin' in

'Long as we get our share

You know that we'll take our share

We're on the outside lookin' in

We're on the outside lookin' in

We're on the outside lookin' in
