If I give me an inch for every time
I've had you on my mind
They would stretch on down the highway
In an endless line
If I had a dime for every time
I've thought about us two
I could buy myself a lifetime
Just to spend on you
And maybe you could care for someone
Just like me
Maybe you're in need of someone
Just like me
Now I told you how I hold you
In my highest esteem
I hope you don't disapprove of me
If I'm not what I seem
As a matter of fact
I've been holding back
The way I really feel
And I've been afraid
Of what you would say
If my heart had been revealed
And maybe you could care for someone
Just like me
Maybe you're in need of someone
Just like me
Well, I'm no night in shining armor
No prince charming, I agree
But what I lack in might and valor
I'll make up in honesty
So, here I go
I will try to show
How much for you I care
But the value that I place in you
Is far beyond compare
You mean more to me
Than the eye can see
But your heart can understand
That I'm speaking of the kind of love
To a woman from a man
And maybe you could care for someone
Just like me
Maybe you're in need of someone
Just like me
Maybe deep inside you're feelin'
Just like me
And maybe you could marry someone
Just like me
