Roger Miller 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

'Cos 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 'cos

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

'Cos I like you and I need you and I want you

And I love you

Precious baby

Precious baby

Precious baby
