Inspector Mills I’d like to tell you ’bout a girl I saw
At a party just the other night in Beverly Hills
Inspector Mills I hope you find her and it don’t take long
Watch my feelings for her growing strong in a war of wills
Inspector Mills

I can’t attempt to point you in her direction
I didn’t see her walking out of the door
If I had taken my time she’d be standing here still
Inspector Mills

I recall once in my life I felt this way before
But I let her go and closed the door, walk away
Inspector Mills I can’t attempt to show the hurt in me
And just how much I need the company; search the valleys and the hills
You gotta find her Mr. Mills

I can’t attempt to point you in her direction
I was blinded by the look in her eyes
If I had taken my time she’d be sitting here still
Inspector Mills

Oo, someday soon I might be in love with her

Inspector Mills I guess you’ve taken quite a look around
Guess I’ve heard the word from underground, she’s gone for good
Inspector Mills is it any crime for a fool like me
Try to use your time ’cause I wanna see; you just send me the bill
Inspector Mills, Inspector Mills

I can’t attempt to point you in her direction
I didn’t see her walking out of the door
If I had taken my time she’d be lying here still
Inspector Mills, Inspector

I can’t attempt to point you in her direction
I was blinded by the look in her eyes
If I had just followed through then I wouldn’t be calling you
