Don't Be On The Outside - Shirley Horn

Don’t be on the outside looking on the inside

If you’re on in the inside looking on the outside

Things that look, invitin' seldom are exciting

Stay on your side

Don’t be on the wrong side looking on the right side

If you’re on the right side looking on the wrong side

Everything you see don’t really have to be

So stay on your side

The grass looks greener when it’s on the other side

Seein' ain’t believin', looks are so deceivin'

Don’t be taken for a ride

Don’t be on the outside looking on the inside

If you’re on in the inside looking on the outside

Take a fool’s advice, it’s worth the sacrifice

To stay on your side

The grass looks greener when it’s on the other side

Seein' ain’t believin', looks are so deceivin'

Don’t be taken for a ride

Don’t be on the outside looking on the inside

If you’re on in the inside looking on the outside

Take a fool’s advice, it’s worth the sacrifice

To stay on your side

Take a fool’s advice, it’s worth the sacrifice

To stay on your side, to stay on your side
