Lyrics
I'm on the outside looking in
I feel excluded, observing from the outside
Baby how your hair flows in the wind
Appreciating the way your hair moves in the wind
Twenty-seven years baby where have you been?
Reflecting on 27 years and wondering where you've been
Now and I loved you then
Currently and in the past, I loved you
Come on baby we can run a
Suggesting a joint adventure, proposing we run away
Hiding in the back of a pickup truck
Concealed in the rear of a pickup truck, seeking escape
Call a brother Johnie can I call him Joe?
Asking about someone named Johnie, perhaps considering calling him Joe
Oh man just my luck
Expressing frustration, as luck seems unfavorable
What I'd do?
Pondering actions or decisions in a hypothetical scenario
What I'd do?
Repeating the contemplation, emphasizing uncertainty
Baby you're just a lonely boy who's waiting on you
Characterizing the subject as a lonely boy awaiting something
Baby you're just a lonely boy who's trying to get through
Reiterating the loneliness, describing efforts to overcome challenges
And it's like ooh
Expressing emotion or reaction with an "ooh"
Coming down the hall what do I see?
Encountering a girl in the hallway, potentially in a rescue scenario
A pretty little girl come to rescue me
Describing the girl as pretty and acknowledging her intention to help
She says you've got the heart but I've got the key
She claims to have the solution or answer to a problem
Oh man well ain't that sweet
Expressing surprise or appreciation for the girl's offer
What I'd do?
Revisiting the earlier contemplation of actions or decisions
What I'd do?
Repeating the uncertainty and questioning in the hypothetical scenario
Baby you're just a lonely boy who's waiting on you
Reiterating the portrayal of the subject as a lonely boy waiting for something
Baby you're just a lonely boy who's trying to get through
Emphasizing the loneliness and struggles in attempting to overcome obstacles
And it's like ooh
Concluding with an expression of emotion or reaction, again using "ooh"
