Don't give up an inch girl
If you won't take me for the mile
Don't give up an inch girl
If you won't take me for the
Miles from home an' I'm all alone
An' lookin' for a first time
We took a long ride
An' there by your side
I did my first crime
Well Mary, Mary quite contrary
Just how does your garden grow, aah
She said you ring my bell
And rattle my shell
I'll be your pretty maid all in a row, aah
Put me to the test
Lay me down to rest
Oh, while your nails cut me up like a knife
Put me in you like a flesh tattoo
And scarred this poor boy for life
Don't give up an inch girl
If you won't take me for the mile
Don't give up an inch girl
If you won't take me for the mile
It was a hot one
In the summer sun
An' more than heat was rising
Well I remember that September
And just how you left me smilin'
I left there shaken
Body was achin'
Like it never did before
I begged and pleaded, swear I needed
Needed you a whole lot more
Put me to the test
Lay me down to rest
Oh, while your nails cut me up like a knife
Put me in you like a flesh tattoo
And scarred this poor boy for life
Don't give up an inch girl
If you won't take me for the mile
Don't give up an inch girl
If you won't take me for the mile
Made this boy's bell ring
There I earned my wings
Left me there in sweet pain
Hell I'll never be the same
Don't give up an inch girl
If you won't take me for the mile
Don't give up an inch girl
If you won't take me for the mile
Don't give up an inch girl
(I see you see)
If you won't take me for the mile
Don't give up an inch girl
(I so needed you)
If you won't take me for the mile
