They laugh at me aloud
They say i`m just a clown
That i ain`t got no pride
I`m on the outside
The girls look really cute
They really make it work
They think i`m just a jerk
I`m on the outside
I never could sit still
I never was too hip
I never caught the ride
I`m on the outside
I`m on the outside, i`m on the outside now
This is where it all begins right here
On the outside lookin` in, i`m on the outside
I never was a punk
I never shot junk
I never even tried counter
Culture passed me right by
(i`m on the outside)
Don`t talk to debutantes
Don`t eat in restaurants
The patrons sit and stare
The waiters make wise cracks behind my back
(i`m on the outside)
Teachers there in school
They flunked me by the rule
They say i had no motivation, brains or dedication
I guess the imbeciles were right i`m on the outside
I`m on the outside, i`m on the outside now
This is where it all begins on the outside looking in
Looking in
At you
I`m just an alien through and through
Tryin` to make believe i`m you
Tryin` to fit
Just a stranger on the outside looking in
The disco makes me sick i
Wear the wrong clothes
I say the wrong things
You know i can`t dance
My feet are much too wide (i`m on the outside)
You think you set the trends
You wear your hair just right
Your clothes are out-a-sight
Your house is modern really kitch
You get so macho when you`re with your bitch
(i`m on the outside)
I see them go to work
I see them go to sleep
I see them on t.v.
I see them laugh and cry-aca
