I know too well that I'm just wasting precious time In thinking such a thing could be That you could ever care for me I'm sure you hate to hear That I adore you, dear But grant me Just the same I'm not entirely to blame

Against the run of the mill Different degrees So much style without substance So much stuff without style It's hard to recognize the real thing It comes along once in a while Like a rare and precious metal Beneath a ton of rock

Precious little diamond I leave it all to you Let it come to you You're in love with something bigger than love You believe in something stronger than trust And tomorrow you won't care Is it so hard to say the same thing? And you're so weak to say the

In your precious face But even in the dark I saw you were the only one alone But these hot gates you spent your victory on Though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore And I can't be for you all of the things you want me to But I will love you

I know it's true Blame it on my misplaced heart But what's the use I been losing time And it's a precious thing I don't watch my back much lately It's funny how I see, everything Twisted and turning in the breeze You made your mind up

Don't waste your time Don't let it slip away from you If it's the last thing that you do I hope the sun shows the way Don't crush my spirit today Reveal your precious stones So I can help myself I dig through bone and skull Imagine black emerald

You make me feel brand new I'll never find the words, my love To tell you how I feel, my love Mere words could not explain Precious love You held my life within your hands Created everything I am Taught me how to live again

There's no other Win me over You'll never buy my love Money rains from the sky above But keep the change 'cause I've got enough A little time and some tenderness No other thing that's as precious to There's no other

Oh, heaven must have sent your precious love Oh-oh, heaven must have sent you from above Ooh, everyday, there's something new (oh, baby) Honey, to keep me loving you (oh, honey) And with every passing minute Oh baby, so much joy wrapped up in it (sugar)

You know I love you You're such a wonderful thing I hope I made you feel less alone Precious thing You make me dizzy whispering in my ear They can go away
