[Verse 1]
I'm standing on the outside looking in now
I watched you close the door right in my face
I'm standing on the outside looking in now
Another one is sure to take my place

[Chorus]
I know that I was wrong, dear, when I cheated
For when a person cheats he cannot win
All that I can say now is I'm sorry
That I'm standing on the outside looking in

[Verse 2]
I'm standing on the outside looking in now
I know you'll never love me anymore
I'm standing on the outside looking in now
I guess I should have thought of that before

[Chorus]
I know that I was wrong, dear, when I cheated
For when a person chеats he cannot win
All that I can say now is I'm sorry
That I'm standing on the outside looking in

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I'm standing on thе outside looking in now
I feel just like a monkey in a cage
I'm standing on the outside looking in now
I guess that I have earned a sinner's wage

[Chorus]
I know that I was wrong, dear, when I cheated
For when a person cheats he cannot win
All that I can say now is I'm sorry
That I'm standing on the outside looking in
