[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
