Lyrics below the fold...


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
