Outside looking in

The last time I came around, around to your place
I got the door, yes the door, slammed in my face
I feel like I've left Mother Earth
And am floating around in space

We used to get along so well. I don't know what happened between us
You treat me like a stranger. Like I just arrived from Venus
You closed your heart and soul in front of me
I think that is such a sin. Oh yes I do.

Not knowing what to do makes me so blue
I feel like I can't win
I may not be rich at all. And I'm certainly not famous
I come from a poor family. And no one can blame us

I want to make things better
But where do I begin?
Should I go or should I stay?
On the outside looking in. Outside looking in.

Waiting here makes me lonely
Standing here outside
The longer you keep me waiting
The more it hurts my pride. Standing outside.

Should I go or should I stay?
On the outside looking in
Let's just talk things over
Let's make a new life begin
Can we make a new life begin?
