Well, baby, baby, don't you leave me here to make it alone
'Cause I don't think that I could take it for a day on my own
Why would you wanna hurt me
When I love you, baby, can't you see?

That you're precious to me (I love you so)
And I can't let you go (Can't let you go)
Baby, one day you'll see (Girl, can't you see?)
That you'll always be (You'll always be)
So precious to me

[Instrumental Break]

Why would you wanna hurt me
When I love you, baby, can't you see?

That you're precious to me (I love you so)
And I can't let you go (Can't let you go)
Baby, one day you'll see (Girl, can't you see?)
That you'll always be (You'll always be)
So precious to me

Oh, baby, baby, you can tell me, when will we meet again?
If I can't be your one and only then I'll have to pretend
Uh-huh, that you're still with me
Girl, I love you so affectionately

'Cause you're precious to me (I love you so)
And I can't let you go (Can't let you go)
Baby, one day you'll see (Girl, can't you see?)
That you'll always be (You'll always be)
So precious to me
To me

You're so precious to me (I love you so)
And I can't let you go (Can't let you go)
Baby, one day you'll see (Girl, can't you see?)
That you'll always be (You'll always be)
So precious to me
To me

You're so precious to me
You're precious to me
