Outside, Looking In

(can be spoken or sung in rhythm)

Unrequited is the game
not meant to be is my name
round n' round is how it goes
where it stops i think i know
even though i hope i'm wrong
i just can't stop the same old song
on the outside looking in
plus i'm drinking the same old gin

Im with Donna on this one Margaret. Wonderful write. The only thing wrong with it is that I didn't write it myself ! Good job. -Robert
