Inside Looking Out

(album: The Best Of Eric Burdon & The Animals Vol. II - 1967)

Sitting here lonely like a broken man
Serving my time doing the best I can
Walls and bars they're surrounding me
But I don't want your sympathy

Oh, baby, oh, baby
I just need your tender loving
To keep me sane in this burning oven
When my time is up be my rebirth
Like I was worth on god's green earth

My rebirth, my rebirth
Baby, yeah, mean it's my rebirth, yeah

Yeah, (yeah!), yeah (yeah!)
Yeah, (yeah!), yeah (yeah!)
Yeah, baby (yeah!), baby (yeah!)
Come on (yeah!), come on (yeah!)

(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, (yeah!), yeah

Ice cold water running in my brain
Then they drag me back to work again
Pains and blisters on my minds and my hands
From living daily with those canvas bags

Thoughts of freedom they're driving me wild
And I'll be happy like a newborn child
We'll be together, girl, you wait and see
No more walls keep your love from me

Yeah!
Can't you feel my love
Baby (baby!), baby (baby!)
I need you (baby!), squeeze you (baby!)
Yeah, come on (baby!), nobody but (baby!)

You do (baby!), I love you (baby!)
Need you, alright

I said everything's gonna be alright
And if you don't believe what I say just
Just listen, baby

Can't you feel my love?
Can't you see my skill
Can't you yell my love?
It's getting louder

It's getting louder
A little closer, yeah

I said, baby (baby!), I need you (baby!)
Come on (baby!), squeeze (baby!)
Please (baby!), oh! (baby!)
Lord, I love you (baby!), I need you (baby!)

Yeah, yeah
Right by my side
I need you here by my side
But I can't help it, baby
But I'll be home soon
I'll be home soon
Yeaheah
Alright

Oh!
