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,
