Keep It On The Outside

(アルバム： I'm Ready - 1983)

It took me too long to getcha
And I will never just walk away
Even though I know they're jealous
They don't want us together
It's all in the words they say

If we just pull our forces together
We'll use love as our shield, yes, we will
And when they start talking
We'll keep right on walking
We'll hear nothing against our will
We gotta...

Keep it on the outside, baby
That's the only way
Keep it on the outside
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
Keep it on the outside, baby
I tell you, it's for the sake of our love, yeah

It's gonna take more than an ocean
Honey, you know we've gotta be strong, mm-hmm
Each day in our own way
We've got to keep love happening
Or it won't last too long, oh-whoa-whoa...

Darling, just as long as we have each other
Out love will be safe and sound
But we can't get too weak, baby
Or trouble will, trouble will come around

Keep it on the outside, baby
Oh, oh, oh...
Keep it on the outside
We got to save our love
Keep it on the outside, baby
Let 'em know, let 'em know
We've got to save our love, oh...

(Keep it on the outside, baby)
It's time
It's time to sit down and think about it
Keep it on the outside
Keep it on, leave it alone, baby
(Keep it on the outside, baby)
I don't wanna hear that, no
I've got a love to save
I've got a love to make
I've got a life to live, oh...

(Keep it on the outside, baby)
Oh, leave it on the outside
Keep it on the outside
Whoo, saved by love
Keep it on the outside, baby
It's a crying shame
When folks try to take you
Away from each other
But no, no
We're gonna have each other

(Keep it on the outside, baby)
Forever, forever
Never gonna let 'em give in
Keep it on the outside
Not again, not this time
No, no, no, no...
