Precious Box lyrics

In my house there's a circle, where the life comes in

From the stars to my home, down through the stone

I could have been so alone without my precious box

Have I a family, I guess not? I've never seen a lot of beauty in my life

Well in your house there are servants, and the lights all dim

Such a beautiful home, your agent's on the phone

They never leave you alone the party never stops

You say that's fantasy, I say "So what, I need a little beauty"

So let me in

You know you've kind of got under my skin

You know we never see a lot of the action 'round here

My dear, you may want to strip again

And you look so fine in your Gucci suit

And you're makin' more money than your daddy

Could have imagined

But people can go out of fashion, honey, yeah, any time

Take that picture, stop actin' so dumb

Don't you know that the moment will come

I will find someone like you

But somethin' with extra, I'm sorry baby

I don't know why?

Said, "I don't know why that is?"

The systematic breakdown of my community

You know I hate my job, I try to save but God

There's just never enough

Switch on, the pressure stops

You know the one for me, she's on fox

And she's a little beauty

Give me your life, give me your life, I want it

Because lately, it's so freezing out here

(This side of the glass, life keeps kickin' my ass)

In so many ways but you make it good

Made me the kind of happy that my baby never could

(This side of the glass)

I know that you would now baby

Take that picture, stop acting so dumb

Don't you know that the moment will come

I will find someone like you

Somethin' with extra, I'm so sorry baby

I don't know why?

Said, "I don't know why that is?"

Precious keeps me company on

Keeps me from bein' alone

Because no-one comes in the morning

No-one comes in the evenin' time

I'd sit and wait for the phone to ring

I could be waiting my whole damn life

So sick of the same old faces

In this street, where nobody talks to me

And the funny side of the situation is

I don't care, I'll always be there

When you come down from the sky

And make yourself at home

In my house baby

'Cause these days it's the money the money

The money, honey, or your life

I said,"Don't you know you can't have both"

I said,"Don't you know you can't have both"

I said,"Don't you know you can't have both"

Stop acting so dumb

The moment will come

I will find someone like you

Somethin' with extra, sorry baby

(Always happens baby to me)

I don't know why?

(Something)

Said, "I don't know why that is?"

You may want to strip again

You may want to let me in

You may want to sacrifice

More than you think is fair or right

You may want to think again

You may want to watch your friends

You may want to change your mind

You may wish you could turn back time

You may want to strip again

You may want to let me in

You may want to sacrifice

More than you think is fair or right

You may want to think again

You may want to watch your friends

You may want to change your mind

You may wish you could turn back time

You may want to strip again

You may want to let me in

You may want to sacrifice

More than you think is fair or right

You may want to think again

You may want to watch your friends

You may want to change your mind

You may wish you could turn back time
