Outside the lines
Outside the starlight's burning bright
Like a picture from baby's lullaby
Sparkle in her eyes when she was young
Seemed to glow, seemed to glow in time
Oh, with the beating of her little heart next to mine
As time moved on
So did the rules within her life
Yeah, them rules told her to stay inside the lines
She's a woman now
That child in her colors outside the lines
Outside the lines, outside the lines
Ain't nobody cryin', colorin' outside the lines
Outside the lines
Still 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
'Cause you taught me to color outside the lines
Outside the lines, outside the lines
Ain't nobody cryin', colorin' outside the lines
Outside the lines, outside them lines
Ain't nobody cryin', colorin' outside the lines
Livin' outside the lines
Lovin' outside the lines
Outside the lines
