MORE THAN THEIR SHARE
(Dolly Parton)


Dolly Parton - 1969



I give an inch and you take a mile
And you tell me to jump and I just ask how high
I bend 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 doesn't 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 then you take a mile
If you tell me to jump, well I just ask how high
I bend 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
