You talk about love 

I know about love 

It don't grow on trees 

When the stars shine on me 

they shine sadly 

I know about love 



You talk about home 

This is my home 

There's no bricks, no stone 

When the wind comes calling 'round 

who's to shelter me 

Don't talk about home 



And I don't know why 

I'm standing on the outside and I'm looking in 

And how hard I try to be there, 

out of the dark and joining in, 

let me in 



Because Larry's gonna be there 

Mary's gonna be there

Everyone will be there 

Man I want to be there 

Joe is gonna be there 

Susan's gonna be there 

Everyone will be there 

So let me in 



You talk about loss 

I know about loss 

I don't have much 

But those who have more 

think that I've got enough 

I know about loss 



You talk about me 

Enough about me 

'Cause I'll disappear like a child in the crowd

You won't notice that I'm not here 

So let's not talk about me 



And I don't know why 

I'm standing on the outside and I'm looking in 

And how hard I try to be there, 

out of the dark and joining in, 

let me in 



Because Sara's gonna be there 

Mel is gonna be there 

David's gonna be there 

Ooh I gotta be there 

Dorothy's gonna be there 

Martin's gonna be there 

Seymour's gonna be there 

So let me in 



Ann is gonna there 

Vince is gonna be there 

Tony's gonna be there 

Man I want to be there 

Pam is gonna be there 

Jack is gonna be there 

Everyone will be there 

So let me in 



And I don't know why 

I'm standing on the outside, I'm looking in 

And how hard I try to be there, 

out of the dark and joining in, 

c'mon let me in 



Because Becky's gonna be there 

Billy's gonna be there 

Carl is gonna be there 

Man I want to be there 

Bobby's gonna be there 

Peter's gonna be there 

Man I want to be there 

C'mon and let me in 



Rollo's gonna be there 

Rob is gonna be there 

Gus is gonna be there 

C'mon and let me in 

Everyone will be there 

C'mon I gotta be there 

Oh won't you c'mon and let me in 



I don't know why 

I'm standing on the outside and I'm looking in 

C'mon and let me in 

How hard I try to be there, out of the dark and joining in

Let me in
