I wasn't lookin' for love at all baby when you first found me Swore I was happy all by myself wanted to be wild and free Then you captured my soul that one fine day Before I knew it I was swept away Give love an inch it'll take a mile turn a shallow stream into the Nile One little kiss one little smile give love an inch it'll take a mile [ guitar - fiddle - dobro ] Your stubborn love would not give up till I let down my guard I couldn't help it when I finally fell Lord I fell so hard You got one foot through my heart's door And now I can't live without you anymore Give love an inch it'll take a mile... [ guitar - steel ] Give love an inch it'll take a mile... Give love an inch it'll take a mile
