Lyrics Isaac Hayes

Isaac Hayes

Precious, Precious

Precious, precious.

Precious, precious.

Precious baby, you're mine.

Mmm... if you don't love me, I'm used to that.

If you don't need me, baby, I can adjust to that.

If you don't want me, honey, that's alright.

If you ain't willin', baby, there sure won't be no fight.

'Cause I'm still satisfied

In loving you

And I'll be waiting 'round when you get through.

Oh, you're precious, honey.

You're so precious.

Precious baby, you're mine.

You've been in and out of my life

And, ooh, baby that hurts,

Baby, that hurts, yeah.

You've been with every girl in this town.

You've been dealin' in dirt.

Just wallowin' in dirt, yes you have.

But I look at love as a two-way street.

You get the good with the bad,

You take the bitter with the sweet.

Oh, you're precious, honey.

You're so precious, baby.

Precious baby, you're mine.

Oooh-oooh, na, na, na, na, yeah, baby.

Oooh-oooh, na, na, na, na, yeah, baby.

Mmm... what people say about ya

Sure ain't no fun

But what they don't know about ya,

You're like two men wrapped up in one.

We've got our life, so let's make it.

It's our chance, so come on, baby, let's take it.

Oh, you're precious, baby.

You're so precious (precious).

Precious baby, you're mine.

Yes, honey (precious).

You're precious, baby.

Precious baby, you're mine.

Ooh, you're precious, baby, yeah (precious).

You're so precious, yes, you are (precious).

Precious baby, you're mine.

Oooh, you're precious, honey (precious).

Oooh, you're precious, baby (precious).

Precious baby, you're mine.
