Other guys may be rich and hansome baby but,
I prefer you.
Now but I prefer you
You have the quality that can't be surpassed
And the love we found I know it's gonna last 
That's why I prefer you

You can't give me all the fine clothes that have been offered to me baby,
But I prefer you.
You can't give the riches that go, understand,
But I still daddy I prefer you
You have the standard that I live by yeah
And all the good lovin that I need,
That's why I prefer you

It's a matter of choice what you wanna do baby,
