Standing on the Inside Songtext
von Neil Sedaka

Standin′ on the outside, lookin' in
You know it′s been a long time, I don't know where to begin
So much I wanna say-ay, so much I wanna do-oo
Friends are tellin' me, it′s time that you broke through
I′ve been through the hard times, of searchin' soul

Standing on the insi-ide, I finally broke that line

All the backsla-appers know my name this time
Now that I′ve turned the lo-ock


Now that I′ve opened the door-oor
I won't be on the outside, no, anymore-ore-ore-ore
Standing on the insi-ide, I finally broke that line
Ring around the circle-le, don′t you know that it feels so fine
Every waking moment I just wanna sing the new-ews
That I'm standin′ on the inside, kicked away them blues
Now that I've turned the lock
Now that I′ve opened the door-oor-oor-oor
I won't be on the outside, no, anymore
Sing it out
Standing on the insi-ide, I finally broke that line
Ring around the circle-le, don't you know that it feels so fine
Every waking moment I just wanna sing the new-ews
That I′m standin′ on the inside, kicked away them blues
Standin' on the inside (standing on the inside)Standin′ on the i-insi-ide (standing on the inside)I kicked, I kicked, I kicked, I kicked (standing on the inside)Sta-andin' on the inside (standin
