Precious to Me
Love's Desperation: Embracing the Precious Connection
Lyrics
Well baby, baby, don't you leave me here to make it alone
Expressing a plea for the partner not to abandon the speaker
'Cause I don't think that I could take it for a day on my own
Expressing vulnerability and doubt about being able to handle being alone
Why would you want to hurt me
Questioning the intention behind potential actions that may cause harm
When I love you, baby, can't ya see
Affirming love for the partner and questioning the need for hurting
That you're precious to me?
Stating the partner's importance and value to the speaker
(I love you so) and I can't let you go (can't let you go)
Reiterating love and expressing reluctance to let go
Maybe one day you'll see (girl can't you see)
Hopeful that the partner will realize the depth of the speaker's feelings
That you'll always be (you'll always be)
Emphasizing the enduring significance of the partner
So precious to me
Reaffirming the partner's preciousness
Why would you want to hurt me
Repeating the question about the intention to cause harm
When I love you, baby, can't ya see
Reaffirming love and questioning the need for hurting
That you're precious to me?
Restating the partner's preciousness to the speaker
(I love you so) and I can't let you go (can't let you go)
Reiterating the difficulty in letting go of the partner
Baby, one day you'll see (girl can't you see)
Expressing hope that the partner will eventually understand
That you'll always be (you'll always be)
Emphasizing the enduring importance of the partner
So precious to me
Reaffirming the partner's preciousness
Well baby, baby ya can tell me when will we meet again
Prompting the partner to disclose when they will meet again
If I can't be your one and only then I'll have to pretend
Expressing a willingness to pretend if the partner cannot be exclusive
Ah, that you're still with me
Expressing a desire for the partner's continued presence
Girl, I love ya so affectionately
Declaring affection and love for the partner
'Cause you're precious to me
Reiterating the partner's preciousness
(I love you so) and I can't let you go (can't let you go)
Repeating the difficulty in letting go and the depth of love
Baby, one day you'll see (girl can't you see)
Reiterating hope that the partner will eventually understand
That you'll always be (you'll always be)
Emphasizing the enduring importance of the partner
So precious to me, to me
Reaffirming the partner's preciousness
You're so precious to me
Stating the partner's preciousness to the speaker
(I love you so) and I can't let you go (can't let you go)
Repeating the difficulty in letting go and the depth of love
Baby, one day you'll see (girl can't you see)
Reiterating hope that the partner will eventually understand
That you'll always be (you'll always be)
Emphasizing the enduring importance of the partner
So precious to me, to me
Reaffirming the partner's preciousness
You're so precious to me
Stating the partner's preciousness to the speaker
You're precious to me
Concluding with a declaration of the partner's preciousness
