Your precious love means more to me than any love can ever do
For when I wanted you, 
I was so lonely and so blue, 
'Cause that's what will do.

And darling I, 
Oh when I first realized that you were fooling me
And darling, they say that our love wont grow,
I just want to tell them they don't know.

For as long as you're in love with me our love,
Will grow wider deeper than any sea.

And all the things that I want in this whole wide world
Is just for you to say you'll be my girl and
Ooh (Wanting) oh I'm lonely (You so lonely)
And blue that's what love will do)
