"Precious Baby" lyrics

Precious Baby

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

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
