Lyrics:

Chorus:

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 a mile



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



Chorus



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 shaken

Body was achin'

Like it never did before



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



Chorus, Solo



Made this boy's bell ring

And there I earned my wings

Left me there in sweet pain

Hell I'll never be the same



Chorus
