Outside of me and you
I don't know nobody else.
Outside of saying I do
I'm not sure of myself.
I took down to Boston,
On the overnight from Maine.
The man said I could get there faster,
If I flew down in his plane.
He wanted all o' my money.
He cost me half my brain.
I had to tell 'im 'No' Slowly,
And from a moving train.
Ah-ah! Ah-ah! Ah---ah. Ah-ah!
La duh duh da.

Outside of me and you
I don't need nobody else.
Outside in the rain with you,
I was beside myself.
I got lost in Boston,
Back in summer eighty-nine.
I've won most! I've lost some.
I've lost track of time.
I'm saving all o' my money,
Gonna' get myself a plan,
tell myself 'No' Slowly.
I'm a moving, shaking man.
Ah-ah! Ah-ah! Ah---ah. Ah-ah!
La duh duh da.

Outside of me and you
I don't know nobody else.
That's o.k. I don't need them.
I only need your help.
Let's ring the bells up in Boston,
Sunday when we wake up,
After no more restless tossin',
Our peace of mind's enough.
They say love is costly.
Some say it costs too much.
Let's tell each other 'No' Slowly
While we're makin' love.
Ah-ah! Ah-ah! Ah---ah. Ah-ah!
La duh duh da.

I saw your friend Abigail.
She told me what to say.
Somethin' about some money owed,
Or was it money paid?
When I looked into her eyes,
I could see that she was crazed.
I had to tell 'er 'No' Slowly,
And slowly back away.
Ah-ah! Ah-ah! Ah---ah. Ah-ah!
La duh duh da. Ah-ah!

There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com
