BLACK MUSIC LYRICSコミュのJackie Moore / Precious Precious　(by Jackie Moore/Dave Crawford)

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.

1973年の一発カバーも多いが作者ので紹介

Delfoの時も出てきたTwo way streetがでてきてるね
結構引いて引いておきながら、baby you're mineとキメる、
You get the good with the bad,
You take the bitter with the sweet
ここでは、一見上手い様に見えても色々あるで、と脅かしてる＞笑
実は苦い水がスィートでっせ、と繰り返しもフォロー＾＾
中々熱い中にも地道に追っかけてる味わいがのこるね。
オリジナルがいよいよ初（のはず）CDとなった、ベストでも聴けます。
