OUTSIDER
(Roy C. Bennett / Sid Tepper)


Cliff Richard - 1961
Deek Rivers - 1962
Louis Paun - 1963



Someone else is in your arms tonight
While I'm all alone and blue
Someone else will kiss and hold you tight
Just the way I used to do

I used to be your love
And now I'm your used to be
Outsider, that's me

You'll be dancing cheek to cheek with him
To our favorite melody
And the tender words you speak to him
Will be words you spoke to me

Once I was in your heart
Now someone else holds the key
Outsider, that's me

I want you so much (So much)
I can look (You can look)
But musn't touch

I keep waitin' for the phone to ring
But I know it's all in vain
When you left me you took everything
But the memories and the pain

I used to be your love
And now I'm your used to be
Outsider, that's me

I want you so much (So much)
I can look (You can look)
But musn't touch

I keep waitin' for the phone to ring
But I know it's all in vain
When you left me you took everything
But the memories and the pain

I used to be your love
And now I'm your used to be
Outsider, that's me
Outsider, that's me
