Precious
The Badloves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Precious
You know I have nothing
Precious
No money can buy
You're like a treasure
Lost to the sands of time
Whatever you're hiding
Few can deny
You sure got something

Precious
About you
I love your ancient charms
Precious
Oh my, my
I'm saving you for myself

We fall into each others arms
And in the half-light
Reveal your charms
Precious
Now we are as one
Sins of the father
Are those of the son
Feel my soul surrender

Precious
No doubt about it
I love your ancient charms
Precious
Oh my, my
I just want a piece of you
So come and surrender

Wearing the gifts god gave you
Who will save you now
Save me some of your

Precious
Come on now
I love your ancient charms
Precious
Oh my, my
I just want a piece of you
Precious




Oh my, my
I'm keeping you for myself
