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 on 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 sleepin'
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, runnin' 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 on the outside, lookin' in
Long as I get my share

You know that I'll take my share

I can hear them tell I'm a hound of hell
'Cause they get the smell of danger
As I'm comin' here, 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 every 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
