Richard John Thompson - From The Outside In lyrics

If you're looking for a fright

Don't come running to me in the middle of the night

If you see your future fly by

Don't come running to me if you need a shoulder to cry

You know me from the outside in

You don't care where I'm going or where I've been

But that's just you

If the summer brings you round

Don't come running to me

If the winter strikes you down

If the spotlight turns on you

Don't come running to me if you don't know what to do

You know me from the outside in

You don't care where I'm going or where I've been

But that's just you

Well by the book you are a fool

Don't come running to me if you don't know what to do

You see your life go down the drain

Don't come running to me if you need to complain

You know me from the outside in

You don't care where I'm going or where I've been

But that's just you

Ah that's just you
