Just like a fool I followed you downtown
You said that you were going shop around
You headed for the first bar that you came along
And you walked in just like you were at home
And I'm standing on the outside looking in
And it's so dark inside that I can't see
I can hear you laughing over all the others now and then
Standing on the outside looking in
[ steel ]
Oh I know that I should turn and run away
But my heart keeps telling me that I should stay
Our friends all say that you're forgettin' me
Oh but how can I believe what I can't see
And I'm standing on the outside looking in...
Standing on the outside looking in
