Songtexte Inside - Peter, Paul and Mary

Let's say you're at a pie contest
Let's say that you're the judge
And there's lemon and lime and watermelon rind
And one that looks like fudge

You can't tell which pie you'll like the best
If you only eat the crust
In order to complete the test a bite of filling is a must
(Yes, a bite of filling is a must)

Inside, inside, that's the most important part
Inside, Inside, that's the place you've got to start
Inside, inside, that's where
You'll find the heart of the matter

Well, let's say you're at a birthday party
And, and let's say you've just turned eight
And there are presents everywhere
And all of them look great

You can't tell which one's your favorite
By just looking at the bow (No)
To pick one out from all the rest
Unwrap each present then you'll know
(Unwrap each present then you'll know)

Inside, inside, that's the most important part
Inside, inside, that's the place you've got to start
Inside, inside, that's where
You'll find the heart of the matter

You know, children are the very best
Each one a joy and pride
Just how we know, I bet you guessed
We took the time to look...
(Inside!)

Inside (Inside) inside (inside) that's the most important part
(More and more) inside (inside) inside (inside)
That's the place you've got to start
Inside, inside, that's where
You'll find the heart of the matter
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...

Let's say you're at a library
And there's stacks and stack of books
Well even stacks on top of stacks
Everywhere you (Shhh, it's a library Paul)

There are stories about mystery
And sports and famous lovers
To pick one out from all the rest (Shh)
You've got to open up the covers
(You've got to open up the covers!)

Oh, inside, inside, that's the most important part
Inside (inside) inside (side, side)
That's the place you've got to start
Inside, oh inside, that's where
You'll find the heart of the matter

Inside (inside), inside (inside)
That's the most important part
Inside (inside) inside (inside)
That's the place you've got to start
Inside, inside, that's where

You'll find the heart
That's where you'll find the heart
That's where you'll find the heart
Of the matter
