She's like a hundred songs You've heard them all before He's got a look that makes her heart sink to the floor The give and take Almost breaks your heart to see A love so fake Has never come my way I'm on the outside looking in I'm on the outside looking in He's in a dead end job He waits for the sunset She will be waiting there to help him not forget The back and forth Tears them up inside again I'm up all night Howling at the walls I'm on the outside looking in I'm on the outside looking in She's got a friend whenever she needs sympathy He's got a family who loves him patiently The ups and downs Fade into a violent love I make my bed And then I lay back down I'm on the outside looking in I'm on the outside looking in
