Standing On The Outside (Looking In Now) - Hank Thompson

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

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
