My mother is the moon, my father is the sun
It's hard to say where I belong
Between such brilliant lights as these
You fight for your identity
You're filled with every shade of doubt
You try in vain to work it out
How can it be so hard to see
That love is all you really need
I'm outside – where do I begin
To find where I belong, find where I fit in
Outside – where I am
Everybody talks, and no one understands
Outside – you can tell me everything is just fine
But I'm having such a lousy time
I wanna really feel worthwhile cause I am
I'm on the outside
I'm on the outside
It's not so hard to understand
The child is different from the man
Before he loves somebody else
He needs to learn to love himself
I'm outside – where do I begin
To find where I belong, find where I fit in
Outside – where I am
Everybody talks, and no one understands
Outside – you can tell me everything is just fine
But I'm having such a lousy time
I wanna really feel worthwhile cause I am
I'm on the outside
I'm on the outside
I'm outside
