She is such a good girl  Livin' down the street  Workin' in the diner  At the local brewery  She's married to this man  For reasons I can only guess  He always beats her up  And turns her face into a mess  I'm watchin' from the outside  Outside lookin' in  Watchin' from the outside  T-T-T-Take it!  T-T-Take it away, don't you leave it alone  When you walk out that door, honey, you're on your own  Hey, God knows you'll be glad when he's gone  Sometimes when it's rainin'  She doesn't go to work  She's lookin' at some pictures  Of her dad who was a clerk  She's puttin' on a record  From the spring of '65  She's dancin' by herself  With big faraway eyes  I'm watchin' from the outside  Outside lookin' in  Watchin' from the outside  T-T-T-Take it!  T-T-Take it away, don't you leave it alone  When you walk out that door, honey, you're on your own  You'll be glad when he's buried and gone  Yea, God knows you'll be glad when he's gone  Take it away, go back home  Take it away, won't you please go back home
