I'm on the outside, looking in
And I wanna be, and 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't wanna be, I don't wanna be left on the outside all alone

Well, I guess I've had my day, and you let 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 (oh-oh-oh)

Won't you take me back again? I'll be waiting here till then
On the outside, looking in
On the outside, looking in
Oh-oh, looking in

I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be looking in
Oh-oh, looking in
