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

Push it along
Work work work to make it work
Push it along
Work work work to make it work
Push it along
Work work work if you want to improve it
Push it along

It's all there for you to feel it
Help your self to one that you can't deal with
Ain't no way that you could steal it
You misunderstand if you get greedy
Ah push

Work work work to make it work push it along
Work work work to make it work
Push it along
Work work work to make it work
Push it along
Work work work if you want to improve

Don't confine your dreams to bed
You'll get scared if you get lazy
If you can't take enough to satisfy yourself
Then you'll go crazy

Wont do no good thinking
You got to do it
So it don't come easy the first time
Practice makes perfect, you know that I'll try hard
Use it or lose it
You got to put your heart and soul into it
Yeaheheh

Push it along
Work work work to make it work
Push it along
Work work work if you want to move it
Push it along
Work to make it work
Push it along
Work work work if you want to improve

It's all there for you to feel it
Help your self to one that you can't deal with
Ain't no way that you could steal it
You misunderstand if you get greedy forget wishful thinking
You can do it
You just need a push to make a start
If you don't succeed the first time
Try and try again
Use it or lose it
You got to put your back into it

Work work work to make it work
Push it along
Work work work if you want to move it
Push it along
Work work work to make it work
Push it along
Work work work if you want to improve

Work work work to make it work
Push it along
Work work work if you want to move it
Push it along
Work work work to make it work
Push it along
Work work work if you want to improve

Back here baby
Back in my arms girl
You ain't got no reason to act like a stranger to me
Back here baby
Things are changing for the better
We've just got to keep our hearts open to seige
You've been taking care of business
Sure I've been meeting lost of folk
Sure I ain't been spending as much time with you as you'd like me to be
But if you sit at home and worry
Bout where and with who I might be
Then you're bound to have some trouble
Coz you worry bout your jealous mind
Don't let it move ya, don't let it move ya, don't let it move you away from me
Baby, back in my arms girl
You ain't got no reason to act like a stranger to me
Back here baby
Things are changing for the better
We've got to keep our hearts
Open at sea
But lovin' ain't possessing
So it's bound to keep us guessing
Not to trust in each other to be doing all that we can do
So when I'm far away baby
Remember I love you
Let your heart make all the choices
Don't listen to those jealous voices
Of changes, stages make it stronger,
Come on girl, we can see it through
Baby, back in my arms girl
You ain't got no reason to act like a stranger to me
Stranger to me
Back here in my arms
Back in my arms
You ain't got no reason to act like a stranger to me
Stranger to me
Just because we've been away from each other
You ain't got no reason to act like a stranger to me
Back in my arms girl
You ain't got no reason to act like a stranger to me
Stranger to me
Back here in my arms

Time dies tryin' to fly by
Got a grain of love in my eye
And if I ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

And the fires just keep on burnin'

Hey girl, you sit there pining
Inside you feel you're dying and the world doesn't care
You need someone to rely on
You need a shoulder you can cry on,
Well there's one right here
But let get's one thing clear
I ain't no substitution for the guy
Who left alone
I'll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I'll be gone
No commitments, no lies
One thing there wont be no lies, coz I got nothing to hide
A little comfort, a little soothing,
Just until you've started grooving (? )
Then I'll have to ride

Coz like I told you babe
I ain't no substitution for the guy
Who left alone
I'll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I'll be gone, gone
So remember what I told you
Just tonight I'll stay and hold you
Till you feel ok
A little loving to ease the pain
You feel yourself ? ? ?
And then I'm on my way
I ain't no substitution for the guy
Who left you alone
I'll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I'll be gone, gone, gone
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
? ? ? ? be gone mama
I'll be gone
Can't afford to hang on mama
I'll be gone

You yelled "hey"
When your car wouldn't start
Got real nervous, started to eat your heart out
You're so fat, your shoes don't fit on your feet
You got trouble
And it's tailor made, mama lay down your head in the shade
Coz your eyes are tired and your feet are too
And you wish the world was as tired as you
Well I write a letter and I nd it today
And put all the trouble in it you had today, had today

You yelled "hey"
When your stove blew up
Upset, why yes
The footprints on your ceiling are almost gone
And you're wondering why
Mama lay your head down don't you
Your eyes are tired and your feet are too
And you wish the world was as tired as you
Well I write a letter and I send it away
And I put in it all the trouble you had today, had today
All the trouble in it

Well your telephone rang and you weren't home
You forgot about this and you forgot about that
Got to get to what you're doing
Goodbye click that so and so
You're an islander on your own, on your own

That's ok, one , two, one, two, three, four
This a fine time to tell me
That you want to stay here
This is a fine time, for you to let me know
This is a fine time for you to let me know you want to play
This is a fine, fine time for you to let me know
You didn't waste any time, telling me how well you behaved
But you , but you,sure as dropped me a line
'bout patience and danger when meeting a stranger
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
This is a fine time
To tell me
To let me know
Oh yes darlin' it is
This is a fine time for you to let me know, let me know
This is this is this is, this is
A fine time
That you want to stay
This is a fine time
For you to let me know know this is a fine time for you to let me know
That you want to play
This is a fine time
This a fine for you to let me know
You didn't waste any time
In tellin' me how well you behaved
And you sure as dropped me a line
'bout patience and danger
When meeting a stranger
Without the? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
You were the? ? ? ? ? ? ?
This is a fine time
To tell me
Let me know you want to saty here
This is a fine time
For you to let me know

She says that love can turn friends into fools
Make ' em easy prey
Well I feel like bending her rules
I don't want to deceive her
Want to make her a believer
But she don't trust nobody
Who says he feels that way

Which of us is the fool baby
You can't win if you can't lose
Which of us is the fool
Which of us is the fool
I would be hard-pushed to choose
Which of us is the fool

She knows her heart is so easy to break
She's so scared to fall
Can she tell how she makes my heart ache
I just want to hold her
But I know if I told her
She'd say I was just hurting myself
And it certainly feels that way

Which of us is the fool baby
You can't win if you can't lose
Which of us is the fool
Which of us is the fool
We both fear lonely nights
Little girl can that be right

I just want to hold her
But I know if I told her
She'd say I was just hurting myself
And it certainly feels that way

Which of us is the fool baby
You can't win if you can't lose
Which of us is the fool
Which of us is the fool
We both fear lonely nights
Little girl can that be right

Which of us, which of us, which of us is the fool
Which of us is the fool
We both fear lonely nights
Little girl does that seem right

Which of us is the fool baby
You can't win if you can't lose
Which of us is the fool
Which of us is the fool baby
