I give an inch and you take a mile and you tell me to jump and I just ask how

high

I've been over backwards to show you I care

And someone must always give more than their share

I say I'm sorry when the fault is not mine

And I take the blame for our fights all the time

I love you so much and it doesnt seem fair

That someone must always give more than their share

I know you well enough to know you would never admit you were wrong

And you know me well enough to know I give in cause my love is so strong

If I give an inch and you take a mile if you tell me to jump well I just ask

how high

I've been over backwards to show you I care

Cause someone must always give more than their share

Yes someone must always give more than their share
