[Verse 1: David Ruffin]
One day, you will begin to realize
By the look that's in my eyes
[Chorus: David Ruffin + (The Temptations)]
How much I love you (Love you)
And if you leave you'll lose a precious love
(You'll lose a precious love)
[Verse 2: David Ruffin]
Somehow, these arms of mine can't let you go
The touch of my hand, baby, should let you know
[Chorus: David Ruffin + (The Temptations)]
How much I love you (Love you)
And if you leave me, you'll lose a precious love
(You'll lose a precious love)
Mmm, yes you will
[Bridge: The Temptations + Melvin Franklin]
We go together like hand and glove
Don't destroy our precious love
[Verse 3: David Ruffin]
Somehow, these arms of mine can't let you go
The touch of my hand should let you know
How much I love you (Love you)
And if you leave you'll lose a precious love
(You'll lose a precious love)
[Outro: David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, (The Temptations)]
Mmm, you're gonna lose
You're gonna lose a precious love
(You'll lose a precious love)
The touch of my hand should let you know
(You'll lose a precious love)
You'll lose a precious love
I've loved you so
One day, you will begin to realize
By the look that's in my eyes
[Chorus: David Ruffin + (The Temptations)]
How much I love you (Love you)
And if you leave you'll lose a precious love
(You'll lose a precious love)
[Verse 2: David Ruffin]
Somehow, these arms of mine can't let you go
The touch of my hand, baby, should let you know
[Chorus: David Ruffin + (The Temptations)]
How much I love you (Love you)
And if you leave me, you'll lose a precious love
(You'll lose a precious love)
Mmm, yes you will
[Bridge: The Temptations + Melvin Franklin]
We go together like hand and glove
Don't destroy our precious love
[Verse 3: David Ruffin]
Somehow, these arms of mine can't let you go
The touch of my hand should let you know
How much I love you (Love you)
And if you leave you'll lose a precious love
(You'll lose a precious love)
[Outro: David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, (The Temptations)]
Mmm, you're gonna lose
You're gonna lose a precious love
(You'll lose a precious love)
The touch of my hand should let you know
(You'll lose a precious love)
You'll lose a precious love
I've loved you so
