Precious Baby Lyrics - 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
