 Your precious  love - that means so much
 will it ever stop or will I just lose touch?
 What I want  to say - but my words  just fail
 Is that I need  you so I can't help myself
 Like a hungry child - I just help myself
 And when I'm all  full up - I got out  to play
 Aw!  Huh!
 Lonely as  the moors on a winter's morning
 Quiet as the sea on a good calm night
 In your tranquil  shadow - I try  and follow
 I hear your distant  shoe clicks
 To the midnight beat -
 I feel trapped in sorrow
 In this imagery
 But that's how  I am and why I need  you so
 Aw!  Huh!
 But I don't mean to bleed  you dry
 Or  take you over for the rest  of your life
 It's just that I  need something solid  in mine
 Believe me baby!
 You precious  love - it means so much
 Will it ever stop or will I just lose touch?
 What I want  to say but my words  just fail
 I hear your distant  shoe clicks
 To the midnight beat
 I'm feeling trapped in sorrow
 In this imagery
 But that's how  I am
 And why I need  you so
 Aw!  Huh!
 If the sky  fell from above
 I said who's your precious love?
 If the sky fell from above
 I said who's your precious love?
 If the sky fell from above
 Buddy, who's your precious love?
Huh!
