Lyrics

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
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
Ooh, I never shoulda gone away, never shoulda gone away
And left you like I did (and left you)
With tears in your eyes, oh
I thought you'd take me back
But 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
Ooh, won't you take me back again?
I'll be waiting here till then
On the outside looking in (I'm on the outside looking in)
(On the outside looking in) ooh
(I'm on the outside looking in)
(On the outside looking in) don't leave me
