Keep It On The Outside

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 cryin' 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...
