Standing on the Outside Lyrics

I ain't livin' here no more
I ain't even keepin' score
It's too late to change, it's over
I'm drowned in a sea of tears

Nothin' I can say to you
Makes any difference
There ain't nothing I can do
None of it makin' sense

(Standing on the outside)
Lookin' in at you
(Standing on the outside)
(Standing on the outside)
I'm running out of time
(Standing on the outside)
OHHH!!

I'm so tired of being alone
In a world that feels so cold
There's got to be a light that I can find
There's got to be a soul somewhere
That shines for me

Now I don't want to live without love any more
I just wanna live my life
Love's gonna open up the door
Show me it's light again
(Standing on the outside)
Lookin' in at you
(Standing on the outside)
(Standing on the outside)
I'm running out of time
(Standing on the outside)

Nothin' I can say to you
Makes any difference
There ain't nothing I can do
None of it makin' sense

(Standing on the outside)
Lookin' in at you
(Standing on the outside)
OHHH!!
(Standing on the outside)
What can I do
(Standing on the outside)
(Standing on the outside)
Lookin' in at you
(Standing on the outside)
Yes, I'm lookin' at you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
