Listen to the bass line as to where to come in with the yourself it adds a lot. The notes have been left out of the verses. Intro *verse 1* You can take a powder you can take a drink You can keep the shrink and the kitchen sink Write my name in heaven in invisible ink I just woke up from dreaming I think *verse 2* You can take me over you can give me a lip You can take me under you can give me the slip Take off everything or tear me off a strip Like a lady in the camber and another in the clip *chorus* Don’t move a muscle baby Don’t even flinch You can miss me by a mile Or just inch by inch Inch by inch Inch by inch You can pull me up again inch by inch Inch by inch as pulses race I long to see that look upon your face *verse 3 same as verse 2* You can take me outside you can take me apart You can take me upstairs you can take me to heart You made me love you when you thought you were smart Don’t try to stop me when you told me to start *same as other chorus* Don’t move a muscle baby Don’t even flinch You can miss me by a mile Or just inch by inch Inch by inch Inch by inch You can pull me up again inch by inch Inch by inch as pulses race I long to see that look upon your face I long to see that look upon your face

La chanson évoque des émotions complexes et des relations intimes où les sentiments sont modulés, entre désirs et incertitudes. Le protagoniste semble naviguer à travers des situations ambiguës où il fait face à des choix et des revers, allant d'une soumission à une sorte de prise de contrôle. Le message central tourne autour de l'idée de prendre son temps et de découvrir les nuances d'une connexion, qu'elle soit romantique ou émotionnelle. Le contexte de la chanson, extrait de l'album "Goodbye Cruel World", reflète une période de la vie où l'on remet en question ses relations et ses décisions. C'est une exploration de la vulnérabilité et du désir de comprendre l'autre, tout en étant conscient que l'on peut avancer lentement, "pouce par pouce", vers une meilleure compréhension de soi et de l'autre.
