Lyrics

Outside Looking In

Here you come, and there you go
Laugh in your secret way as you close the door
But when I start knocking, I find myself alone
I don’t want to be outside looking in

That’s right keep on laughing, laughing all the way
Must be an inside joke; I can’t figure what you say
If it’s so funny, let me in on it too
I don’t want to be outside looking in

Won’t you give me your answer
I don’t want no trouble
Pass on another dancer who dances better than you
Open up I’m climbing in; better make some room
Tear down that tear stained wall surrounding you
I don’t want to be
Outside looking in

Fair is fair; what’s mine is yours
But when I find myself banging on your door
You laugh in your secret way like you done before
I don’t want to be outside looking in
