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'
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

Togli a Outside il ritmo zompettante, la satira beffarda degli orinatoi glitterati da discoteca e della divisa da poliziotto alla Village People. Rendila slow e soul.
Senza lo sberleffo di quel video - peraltro geniale - sa brillare forse ancor di più come semplice e serena celebrazione della piena libertà di amare.
Versione eseguita dal vivo al Parkinson Show, ove George Michael fu ospite - in patria - poco dopo l'arresto americano, incantando tutti con l'ironia e lo humour grazie ai quali riuscì a lasciarsi alle spalle la vicenda senza conseguenze di sorta (a parte la pietra tombale apposta sulla sua carriera negli USA).

Outside è una canzone scritta e prodotta da George Michael e pubblicata come CD singolo dalla Epic Records nel 1998.
La canzone è il primo brano di George Michael ad essere rilasciato, dopo lo scandalo in cui era stato coinvolto sei mesi prima. George Michael infatti era stato arrestato per essere stato sorpreso in un bagno pubblico a Beverly Hills con un amante. Tale incidente aveva "costretto" il cantante a dichiarare la propria omosessualità. Nel brano Michael parla proprio del suo bisogno di venire "allo scoperto" (outside in inglese) e poter vivere le proprie storie d'amore senza bisogno di nascondersi. Nel brano viene usato un campionamento della trasmissione radio in cui veniva riportato l'arresto del cantante.
Il videoclip di "Outside", diretto da Vaughan Arnell si propone come una feroce satira, in cui vengono mostrati due poliziotti impegnati a baciarsi appassionatamente in un bagno pubblico. Nel video compare in un cameo la pornostar Rebecca Lord, Brittany Andrews.
