On The Outside Lyrics by Oingo Boingo

On The Outside Lyrics

    They laugh at me aloud
    They say i'm just a clown
    That i ain't got no pride
    I'm on the outside
    The girls look really cute
    They really make it work
    They think i'm just a jerk
    I'm on the outside
    I never could sit still
    I never was too hip
    I never caught the ride
    I'm on the outside

    I'm on the outside, i'm on the outside now
    This is where it all begins right here
    On the outside lookin' in, i'm on the outside

    I never was a punk
    I never shot junk
    I never even tried counter
    Culture passed me right by
    (i'm on the outside)

    Don't talk to debutantes
    Don't eat in restaurants
    The patrons sit and stare
    The waiters make wise cracks behind my back
    (i'm on the outside)

    Teachers there in school
    They flunked me by the rule
    They say i had no motivation, brains or dedication
    I guess the imbeciles were right i'm on the outside

    I'm on the outside, i'm on the outside now
    This is where it all begins on the outside looking in
    Looking in
    At you
    I'm just an alien through and through
    Tryin' to make believe i'm you
    Tryin' to fit
    Just a stranger on the outside looking in

    The disco makes me sick i
    Wear the wrong clothes
    I say the wrong things
    You know i can't dance
    My feet are much too wide (i'm on the outside)

    You think you set the trends
    You wear your hair just right
    Your clothes are out-a-sight
    Your house is modern really kitch
    You get so macho when you're with your bitch
    (i'm on the outside)

    I see them go to work
    I see them go to sleep
    I see them on t.v.
    I see them laugh and cry
    I'm on the outside. i'm on the outside. i'm on the outside

    (repeat chorus)

    I'm on the outside. i'm on the outside now
    I'm on the outside
    I'm on the outside now
