Give me an inch, girl Give me an inch, girl Give me an inch, girl Give me an inch, girl My eyes show me more than I've seen But unlike my poor heart they're not cautious I got to thinking love was a dream Misunderstanding my fortunes I should have taken more heed of my heart Telling me how to live But if you give me an inch, girl I'll give you a mile Oh, I'll make it all worth while And I'll make you see Just how much you mean to me Well ain't it easy to go head-over-heels When you need the right person You got to learn to smile about it Nothing you do will feel certain Here I stand with my heart in command And it's you I want to be with Give me an inch, girl I'm in need of you Don't leave me in the cold When I want to trust in you Don't turn me away Life can be a worry When it's all work and no play Give me an inch, girl I'll give you a mile Oh, I'll make it all worth while And I'll make you see Just how much Just how much you mean to me Give me an inch, I'll give you a mile And I'll make you see Just how much, just how much you mean to me Give me an inch, girl Oh, I'm in need of you Don't leave me in the cold When I want to trust in you
