Out on my own, livin' alone
I'm doing my best to make an honest living
Workin' late again, how's your girlfriend been
I don't know I just keep on giving
And I don't know how to begin
I'm on the outside looking in
Oh yea, the outside looking in
Mm hm, the outside looking in
They say that I'm too nice,
sooner or later you'll pay the price
For tellin' the world just how you feel
I know l'm not that naïve,
and I just can't believe
That every angel tries to steal
And sometimes I just start to cry
'Cause I don't know where l've been
I'm standing on the outside
Could someone please let me in
Could someone please let me in
Like a blind man who longs for sight,
or a poet who cannot write
My soul is captured inside of me
Ah, how it burns, when you get no return
For finally setting your feelings free
