Ray Charles — Precious Thing

[Verse 1: Dee Dee Bridgewater & Ray Charles] 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 [Chorus: Dee Dee Bridgewater] 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 [Verse 2: Ray Charles & Dee Dee Bridgewater] 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 [Chorus: Dee Dee Bridgewater & Ray Charles] 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 [Bridge: Dee Dee Bridgewater] 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 [Chorus: Dee Dee Bridgewater & Ray Charles] 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
