[Verse 1]

I thought about

All of these people

Passing me by

Why does it get me down?

I’m window shoppin’

I want what they got

Everyone’s laughin’

Why won’t they let me in?

[Chorus]

I’m just an outsider

Yeah

I’m just an outsider

Yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Outsider

Yeah

I’m just an outsider

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

All of a sudden

It’s time for taxes

So many bills to pay

And I’m out of practice

Forgot how it was

Before I imagined

I could do anything

But this is what happened

The road got too rough

And I lost my traction

Forget about love

Therе’s no satisfaction

I’m packing it up

I lost all my passion

Enough is enough

It’s gone out of fashion

[Chorus]

I’m just an outsider

Yеah

I’m just an outsider

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I’m just an outsider

Yeah, yeah

I’m just an outsider

Whoah-oh, whoah-oh

[Verse 3]

I can’t believe I never noticed that

If not for me, I would’ve already known this

And there’s a seed that just keeps growin’ inside

It’s got to be, ‘cause it’s already showin’

[Chorus]

Yeah

Just an outsider

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I’m just an outsider, yeah

Yea-ah

I’m just an outsider

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Just an outsider

Yea-ah, yea-ah

[Verse 4]

Went to the preacher

Right up to the steeple

Teacher, oh, teacher

I can’t be so cynical

You tell me it takes some time

But I’m ‘bout to lose my mind

I can’t keep goin’ on and on

Somethin’s gotta give, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]

Ain’t nobody wanna hear from me

So I stay quiet and behind the scenes, yeah

Missin’ all the most important pieces

Doin’ everything without a reason why

Ain’t nobody wanna hear from me

So I stay quiet and behind the scenes, yeah

Missin’ all the most important pieces

Doin’ everything without a reason why

Ain’t nobody wanna hear from me

(Just an outsider)

So I stay quiet and behind the scenes, yeah

(Just an outsider)

Missin’ all the most important pieces

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Doin’ everything without a reason why

(Just an outsider)

Ain’t nobody wanna hear from me

(Just an outsider)

So I stay quiet and behind the scenes, yeah

Missin’ all the most important pieces

Doin’ everything without a reason why

[Verse 5]

See, I been this way all my life

Been called selfish more than twice

People would give me their advice

But I just nibble and never bite

See, me, I always try to keep it light

And that always seems to make some people tight

But everything ain’t always black and white

And I gotta do what I consider right, yeah

Problems used to keep me up at night

But now I’m good ‘cause I got some hindsight

And I don’t worry ‘cause I got my mind right

And I don’t hurry ‘cause I know I got time

And I don’t waste shit, not on my dime

I’m scoopin’ up whatever I can find

Put it on a plate and squeeze some lime

Cut it up and put it in a line
