| Standing on the outside
|
| Looking in
|
| You know it’s been a long time
|
| Don’t know where to begin
|
| So much I wanna say
|
| So much I wanna do
|
| Friends are telling me
|
| It’s time that you broke through
|
| I’ve been through the hard times
|
| Of searching soul
|
| You know it’s been a hard climb
|
| From rock and roll
|
| Now I feel a need in me
|
| So hard to explain
|
| Now I’ve seen the joy and light
|
| And I wanna remain
|
| Standing on the inside
|
| I finally broke that line
|
| Ring around the circle
|
| Don’t you know that it feels so fine
|
| Every waking moment I just wanna sing the news
|
| That I’m standing on the inside
|
| I kicked away them blues
|
| All the phoney faces
|
| Stand in line
|
| All the backslappers
|
| Know my name this time
|
| Now that I’ve turned the lock
|
| Now that I’ve opened the door
|
| I won’t be on the outside, no
|
| Anymore
|
| Standing on the inside
|
| I finally broke that line
|
| Ring around the circle
|
| Don’t you know that it feels so fine
|
| Every waking moment I just wanna sing the news
|
| That I’m standing on the inside
|
| I pushed away them blues
|
| Now that I’ve turned the lock
|
| Now that I’ve opened the door
|
| I won’t be on the outside, no
|
| Anymore
|
| Standing on the inside
|
| I finally broke that line
|
| Ring around the circle
|
| Don’t you know that it feels so fine
|
| Every waking moment I just wanna sing the news
|
| That I’m standing on the inside
|
| I kicked away them blues
|
| Standing on the inside (standing on the inside)
|
| Standing on the inside (standing on the inside)
|
| I kicked, I kicked, I kicked, I kicked (standing on the inside)
|
| Standing on the inside (standing on the inside)
|
| Standing on the inside (standing on the inside)
|
| I kicked, I kicked, I kicked, I kicked (standing on the inside)
|
| Standing on the inside (standing on the inside)
|
| Standing on the inside (standing on the inside)
|
| I’m on the inside
|
| Standing on the inside
|
| I kicked, I kicked, I kicked, I kicked
|
| Babe, baby, yeah |
