Lyrics
There are things that mean a lot to me
Expressing the importance of certain things in the speaker's life.
(Precious)
Reiteration of the central theme, emphasizing something valuable.
Some are more important than others,
Acknowledging varying levels of importance in life.
But there's nothing more precious than my baby
Highlighting that nothing surpasses the value of the speaker's baby.
(Precious)
Reiteration of the exceptional value of the speaker's baby.
It looks like the sun is gone,
Describing a moment where it feels like happiness or light has disappeared.
Here I sit all night long,
Expressing a state of solitude and contemplation.
Thinkin bout my baby she's on my mind.
Thinking about the speaker's significant other who occupies their thoughts.
Well all of my friends stop by
Despite friends' company, the speaker prefers to spend time with their lover.
But I just can't deny, I rather chill with my lady tonight.
Acknowledging the preference for the company of the speaker's lady.
Because our lovin is strong and she's got it goin on

She swept me off my feet,
Describing the impact of the partner's actions on the speaker.
She's so unique..
Highlighting the uniqueness of the partner.
And she'll come with me,
Indicating the partner's willingness to accompany the speaker.
She's got my back in every way,
Emphasizing the partner's support in various aspects of life.
And so I'm not afriad to stop and say, ooohh
Expressing the speaker's lack of fear in acknowledging their feelings.
It is much to long,
Describing a period without a strong romantic connection.
Since I had a love this strong,
Expressing the longing for a love as intense as the current one.
I can't resist the temptations of life
Admitting difficulty resisting life's temptations.
And I must confess to you..
Confessing a new and unique type of love.
Your type of love is new
Expressing that the partner's love brings everything into harmony.
When I'm with you everything is alright,
Stating that everything is fine when the speaker is with their partner.
Because your lovin' is bold, and it'll keep me from the cold
Describing the partner's bold and warming love.
What I need is your love,
Expressing a need for the partner's love.
Your precious love,
Reiterating the value of the partner's love as precious.
And she'll come with me,
Indicating the partner's ongoing support and companionship.
She's got my back in every way
Reiterating the partner's supportive role in the speaker's life.
So I'm not afraid to stop and say ooohh.
