More Than Their Share

(Dolly Parton)



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...
