I'm on the outside looking in
An' I wanna be, an' I wanna be back on the inside with you
You are with somebody new and I don't know what to do
'Cause I'm still in love with you (in love with you)
I'm on the outside looking in
I don' wanna be, I don' wanna be left on the outside all alone
Well, I guess I've had my day as you left me go my way
Now it's me who has to pay
I never should have gone away
I never should have gone away and left you, like I did
With tears in your eyes
I thought you'd take me back
But now, to my surprise (to my surprise)
I'm on the outside looking in
Gotta find a way, gotta find a way
Back to your heart, dear, once again
Won't you take me back again?
I'll be waiting here till then
On the outside looking in (ah-ah-ah-ah)
Won't you take me back again?
I'll be waiting here till then
On the outside looking in (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
On the outside looking in (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, looking in
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I don' wanna be, I don' wanna be
I don' wanna be looking in
Oh, looking in
