(Robert Palmer)

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
