Puttin' the Best on the Outside Songtext
I know you don′t love me
As much as I love you
But still I go right on
Pretending that you do
I can't break these chains of love
Cuz you′ve got me up tied
I think you keep me dangling on the string just I spy
But I don't let it show
Cuz I don't want the world to know
So I put the best on the outside
And I turn the hurting side in(put the best on the outside)
And I put the best on the outside of him(put the best on the outside)
Yeah
You treat me anyway you mind tell you to do
And like a child I′ve been the change you put me through
I never thought my little heart would leave to see the day
Someone would shake it off, yeah
And do it in this way
But I won′t let it show
Cuz I don't want the world to know
So I put the best on the outside
And I turn the hurting side in(put the best on the outside)
And I put the best on the outside of him(put the best on the outside)
Yeah
Each time you do me wrong
It hurts just a little more
But if you ever went away I′d cry for sure
The little crumbs of love and the bits of compliments you give
Are just enough to help he's taken
Hard and mightily
But I won′t let it show
Cuz I don't want the world to know
So I put the best on the outside
And I turn the hurting side in(put the best on the outside)
And I put the best on the outside of him(put the best on the outside)
Yeah
I put the best on the outside
And I turn the hurting side in(put the best on the outside)
And I put the best on the outside of him(put the best on the outside)
Yeah
As much as I love you
But still I go right on
Pretending that you do
I can't break these chains of love
Cuz you′ve got me up tied
I think you keep me dangling on the string just I spy
But I don't let it show
Cuz I don't want the world to know
So I put the best on the outside
And I turn the hurting side in(put the best on the outside)
And I put the best on the outside of him(put the best on the outside)
Yeah
You treat me anyway you mind tell you to do
And like a child I′ve been the change you put me through
I never thought my little heart would leave to see the day
Someone would shake it off, yeah
And do it in this way
But I won′t let it show
Cuz I don't want the world to know
So I put the best on the outside
And I turn the hurting side in(put the best on the outside)
And I put the best on the outside of him(put the best on the outside)
Yeah
Each time you do me wrong
It hurts just a little more
But if you ever went away I′d cry for sure
The little crumbs of love and the bits of compliments you give
Are just enough to help he's taken
Hard and mightily
But I won′t let it show
Cuz I don't want the world to know
So I put the best on the outside
And I turn the hurting side in(put the best on the outside)
And I put the best on the outside of him(put the best on the outside)
Yeah
I put the best on the outside
And I turn the hurting side in(put the best on the outside)
And I put the best on the outside of him(put the best on the outside)
Yeah
