Richard 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
