I see lovers passing by

But no matter how I try

I can't greet them with a grin

'Cause I'm standing

On the outside lookin' in

Friends have told me all along

I've been playing my cards all wrong

But I just can't seem to win

And I'm always

On the outside lookin' in

Oh, how it hurts

To see others enjoy love

I've never known

And I'm afraid

That I'll spend all my night

In my room all alone

Maybe someday I will find someone

That I can call mine

On that day my life'll begin

And I won't be

On the outside lookin' in
