Inspector Mills Lyrics

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

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, Inspector Mills

I can't attempt to point you in her direction 
I didn't see her walking out of the door

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Is he infatuated? Is he attempted to stalk her? Honestly, I think it's much more sinister than that. The way Gerry changes words from "standing here" to "sitting here" to "lying here," and saying he's heard the word "from underground" makes me think that the girl is already dead and he's leading the police on a goose chase. He even tries to plead his case like why would a nice guy like me, who just wants to know this woman, want to waste the Inspector's time? Gee whiz. It's just so good and mega creepy
