i'm on the outside (looking in)

Singer:smokey robinson & the miracles

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

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 eye

oh

i thought you'd take me back

but 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

won't you take me back again? i'll be waiting here till then

on the outside looking in

on the outside looking in

looking in
