Inside and Out
Feist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, I can't figure it out
Your kisses taste like honey
Sweet lies don't gimme no rise
Oh, for what you're trying to do

Livin' on your cheatin'
And the pain grows inside me
It's enough to leave me crying in the rain
Love you forever but you're driving me insane
And I'm hanging on
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I'll win, I'll never give in
Our love has got the power
Too many lovers in one lifetime
Ain't good for you
You treat me like a vision in the night
Someone there to stand behind you
When your world ain't working right
I ain't no vision, I am the girl
Who loves you inside and out
Backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out
I love no other way
What are we gonna do if we lose that fire

Wrap myself up and take me home again
Too many heartaches in my lifetime ain't good for me
I figure it's the love that keeps you warm
Let this moment be forever
We won't ever feel the storm

I ain't no vision, I am the girl
Who loves you inside and out
Backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out
I love no other way
What are we gonna do if we lose that fire

Don't try to tell me that it's over
I can't hear a word I can't hear a line
No girl could love you more
And that's what I'm cryin' for
You can't change the way I feel inside

You're the reason for my laughter and my sorrow
Blow out the candle I will burn again tomorrow
No man on earth can stand between my love and I
And no matter how you hurt me, I will love you till I die

I ain't no vision, I am the girl
Who loves you inside and out
Backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out
I love no other way
What are we gonna do if we lose that fire

Loves you inside and out
Backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out
I love no other way
What are we gonna do if we lose that fire

Inside and out
Inside and out
Inside and out
Inside and out

Inside and out





Inside and out

Overall Meaning

In the song "Inside and Out" by Feist, the singer expresses their feelings for their lover who seems to be untruthful and dishonest in the relationship. The singer cannot comprehend their partner's actions and intentions as they kiss like honey but also tell sweet lies that don't raise any emotions while cheating. Living on this cheating causes pain and heartache that grows within the singer until it's enough to leave them in tears in the rain. Despite this, the singer still clings to the love they share, hoping they will win and not give up. They believe their love is strong enough to bear the test of time, and that even with other lovers, they will always love each other inside and out, backwards and forwards, with their hearts hanging out.

Too many lovers in one lifetime
Ain't good for you

Hello from the year 2024. Still listening. 😊

I've never actually heard a GOOD Bee Gees cover. She deserves a lot of credit for avoiding all the obvious traps.
