Lyrics

Standing On The Outside

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.

You and I, we were alright

And then you suddenly changed

Without a cue, I had lost you

As if I never knew your name

So many things to say

And I need to find a way

‘Cause it's though you're here but gone

And I'm left here all alone

On the outside, well

(Standing on the outside)

Whoa, baby

(Standing on the outside)

I'm standing on the outside, yeah

(Standing on the outside)

Maybe you do, then maybe you don't

Or maybe you don't even care

He has no love and he has no heart

And baby, I know that's not fair, no baby

So many things to say

And I need to find a way

‘Cause it's though you're here but gone

And I'm left here all alone

On the outside, oww, whoa, baby

(Standing on the outside)

Whoa, ho, yeah

(Standing on the outside)

I'm standing on the outside, yeah, yeah

(Standing on the outside)

Can't you hear me callin', baby

(Standing on the outside)

Oh, I'm, whoa, I'm

(Standing on the outside)

Hmm, hmm, hmm

(Standing on the outside)

I'm, oh, I'm

(Standing on the outside)

Oww, whoa, man

Hmm, hey

Well, oww

(Standing on the outside)

Ow, can't you hear me callin', baby

(Standing on the outside)

Oh, I'm, whoa, I'm

(Standing on the outside)

Girl, won't you let me in

(Standing on the outside)

Hey, hey, hey, hey

(Standing on the outside)

I'm standing on the outside, yeah, yeah

(Standing on the outside)

Whoa, let me in

(Standing on the outside)

I'm standing on the outside, yeah

(Standing on the outside)

Can't you hear me callin', baby

(Standing on the outside)

Oh, I'm, oh, I'm

(Standing on the outside)

Hey, hey, hey, I'm

(Standing on the outside)

Just won't you let me in

(Standing on the outside)

Can't you hear me talkin' now?

(Standing on the outside)

Hey, yeah

Standing on the outside

Standing on the outside

Standing on the outside
