Toots & the Maytals

The Maytals, known from 1972 to 2020 as Toots and the Maytals, are a Jamaican musical group, one of the best known ska and rocksteady vocal groups. The Maytals were formed in the early 1960s and were key figures in popularizing reggae music. Frontman Toots Hibbert, who died in 2020, was considered a reggae pioneer on par with Bob Marley. His soulful vocal style was compared to Otis Redding, and led him to be named by Rolling Stone as one of the 100 Greatest Singers. After Hibbert's death, the Maytals indicated that they would continue as a working group.Their 1968 single "Do the Reggay" was the first song to use the word "reggae", coining the name of the genre and introducing it to a global audience.

Precious, precious.
Precious, precious.
Precious baby, you're mine.
Mmm... if you don't love me, I'm used to that.

If you don't need me, baby, I can adjust to that.
If you don't want me, honey, that's alright.
If you ain't willin', baby, there sure won't be no fight.
'Cause I'm still satisfied

In loving you
And I'll be waiting 'round when you get through.
Oh, you're precious, honey.
You're so precious.

Precious baby, you're mine.
You've been in and out of my life
And, ooh, baby that hurts,
Baby, that hurts, yeah.

You've been with every girl in this town.
You've been dealin' in dirt.
Just wallowin' in dirt, yes you have.
But I look at love as a two-way street.

You get the good with the bad,
You take the bitter with the sweet.
Oh, you're precious, honey.
You're so precious, baby.

Precious baby, you're mine.
Oooh-oooh, na, na, na, na, yeah, baby.
Oooh-oooh, na, na, na, na, yeah, baby.
Mmm... what people say about ya

Sure ain't no fun
But what they don't know about ya,
You're like two men wrapped up in one.
We've got our life, so let's make it.

It's our chance, so come on, baby, let's take it.
Oh, you're precious, baby.
You're so precious (precious).
Precious baby, you're mine.

Yes, honey (precious).
You're precious, baby.
Precious baby, you're mine.
Ooh, you're precious, baby, yeah (precious).

You're so precious, yes, you are (precious).
Precious baby, you're mine.
Oooh, you're precious, honey (precious).
Oooh, you're precious, baby (precious).

Precious baby, you're mine.
