Lyrics

She scratched her name all over your heart, in permanent ink

You had love'em and leave'em on your mind, buddy that's what you think

Give a girl like that an inch, she's gonna take a mile

Give a girl like that an inch, she's gonna steal your smile

She's stuck on you, like a bad tattoo

Nothing you can do, you got a bad tattoo

She swore she's gonna love you to death, she's doing her best to try

You spend your life just fighting for breath, maybe it's better to die

Give a girl like that an inch, she's gonna take control

Give a girl like that an inch, she's gonna steal your soul

She's stuck on you, like a bad tattoo

Nothing you can do, you got a bad tattoo

She's stuck on you, like a bad tattoo

She's got you black and blue, you got a bad tattoo

She's got her needle deep in your groove, never let you run too far

There's always ways to have her removed, but she's gonna leave a scar

Give a girl like that an inch, she'll get inside your brain

Give a girl like that an inch, she's gonna drive you, drive you insane

She's stuck on you, like a bad tattoo

Ain't nothin' you can do, you got a bad tattoo

Woah ho.. she's all over you, like a bad tattoo

Now your heart is black and blue, you got a bad tattoo

Ahh... somebody get her off me man
