I've been on the outside loving you
Seen from far away
Every day that I live for you
All I do or say
Like the song of the whippoorwill
Beneath a cloudy sky
Your love stands in front of me
While I go floating by
People talk about how they feel
But I never hear
You know they only want to get along
I only want you near
So standing on the outside loving you
Can't be so terribly bad
It's awful easy to get along
With what you've never had
