"Not On The Outside"

So you think my heart's made of stone?
And when you're near me
there's no reaction.
Well, you're wrong.
From the tip of my toes
My love for you steadily grows
on and on.
And each day you're not here
I'm so wracked with my tears
not on the outside,
but inside strong.
I love you
I love you, baby.
Without you, I can't go on.
I need you, I need you so badly,
to keep this cold heart warm.
So when you smile at me,
and I don't speak (humph)
It's not that I don't care
but I'm so weak, I'm so weak
Cause from my head to my toes
my love for you steadily grows
Not on the outside,
but inside strong.
I love you
I love you, my baby
Without you I can't go on.
I need you so badly
to keep this cold heart warm.
ooooh baby
So you think my heart's made of stone
and when you're near me
there's no reaction
Girl, you're wrong.
Cause from my head to my toes
my love for you steadily grows
Not on the outside,
Not on the outside
Not on the outside,
but oooh, but inside strong.
I want you
Ineed you, baby
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
but ooooh, but inside strong.
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
But oooh, but inside strong.
I need ya
I need ya, baby
Not on the outside,
hey, oooh, oooh
Not on the outside
but ooh, but inside strong.
I love ya
I need ya
oooh, I need ya, baby
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
but oooh, inside strong.
