Here I am more or less a man
Second rate, the last in line
One of lifes little twists of fate
But here I stand
the unaccepted man
At the temple gate...
Sometimes I sit and wonder why
I was born
When everything that I touch
Seems to turn out wrong
Though Im a mistake
There must be a place I belong
But Im outside looking in
(Life looks so easy, they all seem so happy)
Yes, Im outside looking in
(And everyones pretty but I feel so ugly)
Im all alone without a friend
Cause Im outside looking in
The plan was laid
I guess I was made this way
Ive tried before
but I just cant seem to change
Still my heart longs to belong
I wish there was a way
But Im outside looking in
(The beautiful city they all seem so happy)
Yes, Im outside looking in
(And everyones pretty but I feel so ugly)
The celebration will begin
While Im still outside looking in
Oh, Im outside looking in
(They make it look easy to love and be happy)
Yes, Im outside looking in
(Im cast out and ugly and nobody loves me)
Oh, nobody knows me now Im outside looking in
(The beautiful city they all seem so happy)
Oh, nobody sees the ones outside looking in
(And everyones pretty but I feel so ugly)
Oh, nobody knows me now
As life goes on for them
I will stay here in my sin
Cause Im outside looking in
