The Kinks On the Outside (1977 Mix) lyrics

You stay at home
All on your own
With nothing but walls to speak to

You never go anywhere
You say you've nothing to wear
So you keep all your troubles inside of you

There's something hidden in you
And you keep it out of view

You shouldn't feel any guilt
Or have any doubts
You gotta let yourself out whilst there's something left of you

Hey, baby blue
Don't hide your troubles inside
I'd sure like to know you
And there's so much to show you on the outside

Somehow I know that we are gonna get by
So stop acting like a lady
Come and cry like a baby on the outside

Outside
I know that the weather is fine
Outside
I know we're gonna be alright

Somehow I know that we are gonna survive
So stop acting like a lady
Come and cry like a baby on the outside
On the outside

You think you're a freak
And you're afraid to compete

In a world that you thinks got it down on you

You're a closet queen
You think it's obscene
To let the people see what's deep inside of you

I know what you're going through
But what you are is nothing new

So don't feel ashamed
'Cause you're not to blame
Role up the blinds and let the sun come shining through

Hey, baby blue
Don't hide your troubles inside
You should be glad in the gay
Nobody cares anyway on the outside

Somehow I know that we are gonna get by
So stop acting like a lady
Come and cry like a baby on the outside

Outside
I know that the weather is fine
Outside
I know it's gonna be alright

Somehow I know that we are gonna get by
So stop acting like a lady
Come and cry like a baby on the outside

On the outside
On the outside
