Lyrics
I was so lost
Didn't know what to do with myself
I was my own worst enemy
I was lost, and know I needed help
Then you came along
And saw the state I was in
You picked me up when I was down
Showed me how to live again
I say thank you for pullin' me through
I'm a lucky man
I didn't know what life was
But now I, I understand
This is precious love, precious love
No, I can't let it go
This is precious love, and it's teachin' me
Everything I need to know
This is precious love, oh, it's precious love
No, I can't get enough
Oh, I'm down on my knees, beggin' you, please
Gimme some more of that stuff
Oh, it's love, love, love, love, love, precious love
Oh, it's love, love, love, love, love, precious love
Oh, I got so distracted
By people all around
Whisperin' sweet nothin's
Fillin' my head with doubt
So I gave up, I didn't take long
For me to see
One thing that I was missin'
Was standin' in front of me
I took you for granted, thought the grass
Was greener on the other side
I was wrong, and it's took so long
For me to finally realize
Oh, this is precious love, it's precious love
No, I can't let it go
This is precious love, and it's teachin' me
Everything I need to know
Oh, this precious love, oh, it's precious love
No, I can't get enough
Oh, I'm down on my knees, beggin' you, please
To gimme some more of that stuff
I say a prayer and send it to you
That my heart will always be true
Life won't be the same without you
So I say thank you
I'm a lucky man
I didn't know what life was
But now I, now I understand
Understand, understand
Oh, this is love, love, love, love, precious love
This is precious love, and it's teachin' me
To be a better man
This is precious love, precious love
No, I can't get enough
Oh, I'm down on my knees, it's there that I see
You must be from Heaven above
Yeah, it's love, love, love, love, love, precious love
Oh, it's love, love, love, love, precious love
Love, love, love, give me love, give me love
Love, love, love, love, precious love
