"Standing On The Outside (Looking In Now)"

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
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

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
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

[Instrumental break]

I'm standing on the 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
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
