Precious Baby

Roger Miller · Other Songs - Roger Miller

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
