Outside Lyrics

I think I'm done with the sofa I think I'm done with the hall I think I'm done with the kitchen table, baby let's go outside (let's go outside) in the sunshine I know you want to, but you can't say yes Let's go outside in the moonshine take me to the places that I love best So my angel she says, don't you worry 'bout the things they're saying, yeah got no friends in high places and the game that you gave away wasn't worth playing let's go outside in the sunshine I know you want to, but you can't say yes let's go outside in the meantime take me to the places that I love best and yes I've been bad doctor won't you do with me what you can you see I think about it all the time twenty four seven you say you want it, you got it I never really said it before there s nothing here but flesh and bone there's nothing more nothing more there's nothing more back to nature, just human nature getting on back to I think I m done with the sofa I think I m done with the hall I think I'm done with the kitchen table, baby let's go outside in the sunshine I know you want to, but you can't say yes let's go outside in the moonshine take me to the places that I love best and yes I've been bad doctor won't you do with me what you can you see I think about it all the time I'd service the community (but I already have you see!) I never really said it before there's nothing here but flesh and bone there's nothing more, nothing more there's nothing more let's go outside dancing on the D-train baby when the moon is high and the grass is jumpin' come on, just keep on funkin' keep on funkin', just keep on funkin'

Meaning of Outside

“Outside” is a yearning for escape and reconnection with primal instincts, driven by a profound sense of regret and a desperate desire for redemption. George Michael’s voice embodies a weary soul, tired of the superficiality and constraints of modern life – symbolized by abandoning domestic spaces like the sofa and kitchen table. The repeated plea “let’s go outside” represents a longing for simplicity, authenticity, and a return to nature, specifically under sunshine or moonlight. Despite acknowledging past misdeeds and a lack of social standing (“got no friends in high places”), he implores a partner to share this fundamental human need, offering a sanctuary where "there's nothing here but flesh and bone.” The repeated refrain underscores the desire for genuine connection and a release from the anxieties that consume him, ultimately seeking solace in a raw, unburdened existence.
