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 a whipoorwill
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
Standing on the outside loving you
can't be so terribly bad
it's always easy to get along
with what you never had
