Outside Myself

(album: The Last Soul Man - 1987)

Love
I always thought if I reveal
All the emotions that I feel
I wouldn't really, really be a man

And oh, just to cry
I was afraid, afraid to cry
You see I built a wall, a wall so high
I couldn't see

Oh, but now (now)
Now you brought me (now you brought me)
Yes, you brought me (yes, you brought me)

Outside myself (outside myself)
Inside your love where I'm free
To be me, to let go (yes, you brought me)
Outside myself (outside myself)
And into your love's saving warmth
In your arms, I come home (yes, you brought me)

Love
You melt the lonelines away
You understand the part I play
The price I pay to be a man

And I can remember, I can remember I've been so high
Never again, never again too high
'Cause I'm loving, this gentle feeling that I feel inside
You see, you see

But now (now)
Girl, you brought me (now you brought me)
Yes, you brought me (yes, you brought me)

Outside myself (outside myself)
Inside your love where I'm free
To be me, to let go (yes, you brought me)
Outside myself (outside myself)
And inside your love's saving warmth
In your arms, I've come home

Oh, outside myself (outside myself)
Inside your love where I'm free
To be me, to let go (yes, you brought me)
Outside myself (outside myself)
Inside your love's saving warmth
In your arms, I've come home (yes, you brought me)
