You get to know everybody
They get to know you
How will I last, I don't make friends so fast
You know the right words to say
In the right order
I put my foot in my mouth
And do things inside out

From the outside in
There's no point even playing
From the outside in
Yeah the game is rigged for the ladies in waiting
From the ladies that tell ya –
they know everyone in every town
Hearts in the right place
The ladies in waiting don't want me around
And that's why I'm gonna stay

You get to talk to everybody
Everybody talks to you
Woah I speak to soon, I'm no good in the afternoon
Where I can't confess
To everything all of the time
I know it's bad for business
But I didn't come to climb ladders like you
I'll sing when it matters
Not a minute too soon

From the outside in
There's no point even playing
From the outside in
Yeah the game is rigged for the ladies in waiting
From the ladies that tell ya –
they know everyone in every town
Hearts in the right place
The ladies in waiting don't want me around
And that's why I'm gonna stay

You get to know everybody
Yeah you get to know everybody
Yeah you get to know everybody
Yeah you get to know everybody
