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 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 nights 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.
