Let Me In Your World

O'Jays · Other Songs - O'Jays

I don't like it on the outside

Got to get on the inside

Won't you let me into your world

You walk around

With your head up high

On the street I stop

But you walk on by

Oh, sophisticated lady

You know I love you

So why do you put me through

The changes that you do?

Won't you let me into your world, lady

Please let me into your world, lady

The experts say, on the milky way

There's a pot of gold there, everyday

But in my world that pot of gold is in your eye

And in your arms my happiness lies

Won't you let me into your world, lady

Please let me into your world, sweet lady

Life is too short to live it alone

So let me into your world

Let me feel the happy home

Won't you let me into your world, lady

Please let me into your world, lady

No, no

I don't like it on the outside

Got to get on the inside

I don't like it on the outside

Got to get on the inside

I don't like it on the outside

Got to get on the inside

I don't like it on the outside
