Shirley Horn - Don't Be on the Outside lyrics

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 gra** 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 gra** 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
