I was walkin' along with my hands at my side
I couldn't look up, I had to swallow my pride
'Cause of something she found, I got myself caught
Now the consequences are worse than I thought

Ain't no feelin' in the whole wide world
Like gettin' caught red-handed with your second girl
Try to explain, she says I don't understand
She can't stand livin' with a half-hearted man

I'm on the outside lookin' in
Drippin' down from my eyes
Itchin' under my skin
I'm on the outside lookin' in
I don't know where I'm goin'
Only know where I've been
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah

How I needed some in the worst kind of way
She kept her sweets locked up, she tried to push me away
Always promisin' me, she told me my day would come
But I couldn't hold out, so what's done is done

Ain't no feelin' in the whole wide world
Like gettin' caught red-handed with your second girl
Try to explain, she says I don't understand
She can't stand livin' with a half-hearted man

I'm on the outside lookin' in
Drippin' down from my eyes
Itchin' under my skin
I'm on the outside lookin' in
I don't know where I'm goin'
Only know where I've been
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah

Ain't no feelin' in the whole wide world
Like gettin' caught red-handed with your second girl
Try to explain, she says, "You don't understand"
She can't stand livin' with a half-hearted man

I'm on the outside lookin' in
Drippin' down from my eyes
Itchin' under my skin
I'm on the outside lookin' in
I don't know where I'm goin'
Only know where I've been

I'm on the outside lookin' in
Drippin' down from my eyes
Itchin' under my skin
I'm on the outside lookin' in
I don't know where I'm goin'
Only know where I've been
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
