For your precious love means more to me 
Than any love could ever be 
For when I wanted you I was so lonely and so blue 
For that's what love will do 

Darling, I'm so surprised, 
Oh, when I first realized 
That you were fooling me 
Darling, they say that our love won't grow 

I just want to tell them that they don't know 
For as long as you, long as you are loving me 
Our love will grow wider, deeper than any sea 
And all the things in the world, in this whole wide world 
Is just that you would say that you'd be my girl 

(Wanting you) Wanting you, (I'm lonely and blue) whoa, lonely 
That's what love will do 

For your precious love means more to me 
Than any love could ever be 
For when I, I wanted you I was so lonely and so blue 
That's what love will do
