See me coming and you cross the street Never look me in the eye, always down at my feet Think you know just who I am But you don’t want to let yourself give a damn Chorus: I’m your outside neighbor come on, brother and let me in I’m your outside neighbor please don’t judge me by the shape I’m in all I’m trying to do is get back on my feet again got your house and your family car down at the country club you’re under par church on Sunday like you think you should but there’s someone freezing in your neighborhood (Chorus) Bridge: Sleeping in the alley, resting on the steps I’m digging through the garbage for anything that’s left staring in your window, running in your shoes standing on the corner, singing outside blues young or old, black or white living wrong or doing everything right might be a stranger or someone here might even be you in a couple of years (Chorus)

I’m in the shower thinking about you I’m gonna get out, dry myself off and I know just what to do life ain’t long enough to sit around and wait let’s get together before it’s too late Chorus: I’m gonna call you up I’m gonna call you up don’t ask me why, don’t ask me why I’m in love with you I got a snapshot of you in my mind you’re wearing my favorite dress of yours and shaking your behind that gentleman who’s with you, i don’t recognize when you gonna stop runnin around and tellin me lies chorus I got your face framed in my hands you got me laughin and changin my plans I’m full of questions my lips cannot pose they’re used to being tangled up with yours but that’s alright now I suppose chorus I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
