You get to know everybody
They get to know you
How will I last, I don't make friends so fast
You know the right words to say
In the right order
I put my foot in my mouth
And do things inside out
[Chorus]
From the outside in
There's no point even playing
From the outside in
Yeah the game is rigged for the ladies in waiting
From the ladies that tell ya – they know everyone in every town
Hearts in the right place
The ladies in waiting don't want me around
And that's why I'm gonna stay
[Verse 2]
You get to talk to everybody
Everybody talks to you
Woah I speak to soon, I'm no good in the afternoon
Where I can't confess
To everything all of the time
I know it's bad for business
But I didn't come to climb ladders like you
I'll sing when it matters
Not a minute too soon
[Chorus]
From the outside in
There's no point even playing
From the outside in
Yeah the game is rigged for the ladies in waiting
From the ladies that tell ya – they know everyone in every town
Hearts in the right place
The ladies in waiting don't want me around
And that's why I'm gonna stay
[Outro]
You get to know everybody
Yeah you get to know everybody
Yeah you get to know everybody
Yeah you get to know everybody
