Lyrics:

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 and I'm all alone
And looking for a first time
We took a long ride
And there by your side
I did my first crime
Well, Mary, Mary, quite contrary
Just how does your garden grow?
She said, 'You ring my bell and rattle my shell
I'll be your pretty maid, all in a row'

Put me to the test, lay me down to rest
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
And more than heat was rising
I remember that September
And just how you left me smiling
I left there shakin', 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
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
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
