She once hoped to love again Hard to cope she remembers way back when A time in her life a man left her lonely She stops to wonder what it's all about She needs a lover but still has her doubts She's on the inside lookin' out Chorus: She's one of the lonely ones Broken heart but she don't let on She's still lookin' down, don't want to fall One of the lonely ones, Wastin' tears as the years roll on The time passes slow when you're lonely She stares where she saw him last Sees his face in a photograph It's all in her past, can't let it go It starts her thinkin' how it might've been They never thought it could ever end She's on the inside lookin' out Chorus And when she tries to sleep at night She reminisces when he held her tight He's no longer there, he's nowhere in sight There's certain words she should've said Now she's dreamin' alone in bed She's on the inside lookin' out She stops to wonder what it's all about She needs a lover but still has her doubts She's on the inside, inside lookin' out Chorus
