Precious Thing - Ray Charles, Dee Dee Bridgewater

Take your ring

Isn’t it strange, you’re always leaving things

Never mind, I know this room is not a home

I hope I made you feel less alone

Think of me while you roam

But please no strings

But it’s more, more than just another fling

There are things I believe you should never be told, girl, no

But you’re the only one I wanna hold

'Cause it can get awfully cold

Precious thing

You know our love is such a wonderful thing

Hey Ray, baby, you make me dizzy whispering in my ear

Soon, my love, 'til the next somewhere

Dee Dee (Yes, Ray?)

Keep the ring (Oh no, baby)

Ain’t it funny, right?

I’m always losing things, it’s the truth

But you’re like me, you know the road would be your home, girl

I hope I made you feel less alone

Think of me as you roam

Whoa, precious thing

You know our love is such a wonderful thing

Girl, you make me dizzy whispering in my ear

Soon, my love, 'til the next somewhere

You say no strings

But freedom is still as much yours as my thing

I know promises can be hard to keep

The price I paid to learn, oh baby was just too steep

But my still my love runs deep

Precious thing

You know our love is such a wonderful thing

You make dizzy whispering in my ear

Soon, my love, 'til the next somewhere
