LOOKIN’ ON, LOOKIN’ ON…
Stood back from the others,
Lookin’ on, lookin’ on…
Too shy for the others,
Watchin’ on, watchin’ on…
Always felt I had nothin’ to say,
Nothin’ to offer,
Never found a way
All my fears to allay.
I was the outsider,
On the edge, an outrider,
Wondering why it was me,
Why I just couldn’t see…
Stood back from the crowd,
Lookin’ on, lookin’ on…
Too shy for the crowd,
Watchin’ on, watchin’ on…
Always felt I had nothin’ to feel,
Nothin’ to covet,
Never found a deal,
All my doubts stayed concealed.
I was the outsider,
On my own, an outrider,
Wondering why I was me,
Why I couldn’t shake free…
Stood away from the others,
Lookin’ on, lookin’ on…
Too wry with the others,
Watchin’ on, watchin’ on…
Always felt I had nothin’ to show,
Nothin’ to join with,
Never warmed to a glow,
All my feelings in tow.
I remained the outsider,
On the fence, an outrider,
Wishing I wasn’t me,
Which I hated to be…
I stood away from the crowd,
Lookin’ on, lookin’ on…
Too wry for the crowd,
Watchin’ on, watchin’ on…
Shied away from the others,
Lookin’ on, lookin’ on,
Cried away from the others,
Watchin’ on, watchin’ on…
