Count Basie — For Your Precious Love lyrics

Lyrics

Your precious love
Means more to me Than any love could ever be For when I wanted you, baby
I was lonely, I was so blue, baby
For that’s what love, love will do And, darling, I was so surprised
That you know, I failed to realize
That you, you were just
Fooling poor me And, darling, they say
That our love will not grow
But I look on out, I tell them
Huh, you just don’t know
For as long as You’re in love with me Our love will grow wider
Deeper than any sea
And of all the things
Jackie want out of This whole wide world
Is for you to tell me Tell me you’ll be my girl
Ooh, wanting you
I’m so lonely, baby
For your, your precious love
Baby, I been lonesome
And you know I need
Somebody like you, mama
Just love me…
