Outside the lights, outside the starlight's burning bright
Like a picture from a baby's lullaby
The sparkle in her eyes, when she was young
Seems to glow, seems to glow in time
With the beating of he little heart next to mine
As time moved on, so did the rules within her life
Yeah… and the rules told her stay inside the lines
She's a woman now, and that child in her colors outside the lines
Chorus:
Outside the lines, outside the lines
Ain't nobody cryin' colorin' outside the lines
Outside the lines
Well, I complain too much to you for words to say
And you tell me that you love me anyway
I got my applause trying to figure out what I am now
And you tell me that doesn't matter anyhow
I won't be blind, 'cause you taught me to color outside the lines
Chorus:
Outside the lines, outside the lines
Ain't nobody cryin' colorin' outside the lines
Outside the lines
Outside the lines, outside the lines
Ain't nobody cryin' colorin' outside the lines
Outside the lines
Livin' outside the line, loving outside the line
Outside the lines…
