On The Outside Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

They laugh at me out loud, they say I'm just a clown 

That I ain't got no ride, 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 just steal, 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 debutants 

Don't eat in restaurants 

The patrons sit and stare 

The winners make wise cracks behind my back 

(I'm on the outside) 

The teachers stare in school 

They throw me by the rule 

They said I had no motivation frame or dedication 

I think those imbeciles were right 

I'm on the outside, I'm on the outside 

I'm on the outside now 

And this is where it all begins on the outside lookin' in 

Get in and you 

I'm just an alien going through 

Tryin' to make believe I'm you, trying to fit 

Just a stranger on the outside lookin' in 

This culture makes me sick, I wear the wrong clothes 

I do the wrong things, you know I cant dance 

My feet are much to wide 

(I'm on the outside) 

And then you set the trims 

You wear your hair just right, your clothes are outta sight 

Your house is modern really cute 

You get so macho when your with your miss 

(I'm on the outside) 

I see them go to work, I see them go to school 

I see the moms who do it, I see them laugh and cry 

I'm on the outside, I'm on the outside 

I'm on the outside 

(I'm on the outside) 

I'm on the outside 

I'm on the outside 

(I'm on the outside) 

I'm on the outside 

I'm on the outside 

(I'm on the outside) 

I'm on the outside 

I'm on the outside 

I'm on the outside now 

This is where it all begins 

I'm on the outside lookin' in 

Get in and you 

I'm just an alien going through 

Trying to make believe I'm you, tryin' to fit 

Just a stranger on the outside lookin' in 

I'm on the outside 

I'm on the outside now 

I'm on the outside 

I'm on the outside now 

I'm on the outside 

I'm on the outside now
