I'd try for you die for you my number one desire is you
Your mama must be elegant your papa should be president
I never thought that I would say the things that I told you today
But I meant every word love I don't mean maybe
Cause I like you and I need you and I want you
Precious baby

Me I'm arrogant I talk too much and I know I don't deserve your touch
When God made you he made something to tantalise the inside of me
Precious baby

Whoever said no love is lost must have been mistaken cause
Lord there's precious little love around
But if I had your love love I'd take your lovely face
I'd show it off all over town

And then I'd live for you and when day was through
That's when I'd hurry home to you
And meet you in the hall now that's more than halfway
And I'd hold you every night and I'd call you every day
Precious baby

[ strings ]
I'd hold you every night and I'd call you every day
Cause I like you and I need you and I want you and I love you
Precious baby precious baby precious baby
