Outside In / Inside Out
Babyface · Other Songs - Babyface
The way you walked in to the room with so much attitude
Sometimes people go through life
Searching for a sign
Girl I know that I found mine
When I look into your eyes
[Chorus:]
Outside in, inside out, you do it for me ya knock me out a sight to
See from head to toe
Had to let you know
Outside in, inside out, you do it for me ya knock me
out a sight to see from
Head to toe
Had to let you know
Girl I lost my mind I saw you dancin on the floor
You looked so damn fly sweat started comin from my pores
Soemtimes people go through life
Searching for the one
Girl I know that I found mine
And I know its love
[Chorus]
Tell me (when and if) I can see you
(How's about) tomorrow night
No one (has to know what) we do
(what we do til ya say) until say it's alright
(its alright, its alright baby, its alright baby)
It's alright baby, it's alright baby
[Chorus 2x]
