I'm on the outside lookin' in
But I like it this way
Here on the outside lookin' in
I see the games that they play

I'm on the outside lookin' in
But I don't really care
Here in the outside lookin' in
'Long as I get my share
You know that I'll take my share

When it's late at night
They blow out the light
And although they might be sleein'
If they hear a sound
I may be around
And they know I could be creepin', (creepin' creepin')

They must be aware
If they think I'm there, it's a very scary feelin'!
Lyin' in their beds
Running through their heads
Is one thought-what is he stealin'?

I'm on the outside lookin' in
But I like it this way
Here on the outside lookin' in
I see the games that they play
I'm on the outside lookin' in
But I don't really care
Here in the outside lookin' in
'Long as I get my share
You know that I'll take my share

I can hear then tell
I'm a hound of hell
As they get the smell of danger
As I'm coming near
I can taste their fear
Of the dark and deadly stranger

They know who I am
I don't give a damn
I could lead ev'ry lamb to the slaughter
So be on your guard
For my calling card
And be sure, to lock up your daughters

They keep us outside lookin' in
My sister and me
And if we're outside lookin' in
That's the way it will be

We're on the outside lookin' in
But we don't really care
Here on the outside lookin' in
'Long as we get our share
You know that we'll take our share

We're on the outside lookin' in
We're on the outside lookin' in
We're on the outside lookin' in
