[Verse 1] Precious Brown caught me after class one day Said she had something important to say Her eyes were nervous, hands were shaking too "I think I'm falling, I'm in love with you" I didn't mean to hurt her, but I had to be real Told her straight up exactly how I feel "I'm sorry, Precious, but I can't lie to you" Now every hallway feels like déjà vu [Pre-Chorus] And now she's watching every move I make Every conversation, every smile I fake [Chorus] Precious Brown, why you looking at me like that? I'm just talking to your friends, it's nothing more than that You said you loved me, I said I can't go there Now you hate it when I'm standing anywhere Near the girls from your class, yeah, you're turning around Getting jealous, getting mad, Precious Brown Precious Brown [Verse 2] I see you rolling your eyes across the room When I'm laughing with Sarah, talking to June It's just a conversation, nothing's going on But you're burning holes through me till the moment's gone I didn't ask for this complicated game You put your heart out, I can't take the blame For being honest when you wanted more Now you're keeping score [Pre-Chorus] And I can feel your stare from across the way Every time I talk to them, you look away [Chorus] Precious Brown, why you looking at me like that? I'm just talking to your friends, it's nothing more than that You said you loved me, I said I can't go there Now you hate it when I'm standing anywhere Near the girls from your class, yeah, you're turning around Getting jealous, getting mad, Precious Brown Precious Brown [Bridge] Maybe I should walk on by Pretend I don't see that fire in your eyes But something 'bout the way you care Makes me wonder if I should've met you there But I can't give you what I don't have to give This is just the way it is, the way we live [Chorus] Precious Brown, why you looking at me like that? I'm just talking to your friends, it's nothing more than that You said you loved me, I said I can't go there Now you hate it when I'm standing anywhere Near the girls from your class, yeah, you're turning around Getting jealous, getting mad, Precious Brown [Outro] Precious Brown, don't be mad at me I was honest from the start, can't you see? Precious Brown, Precious Brown Yeah, you're jealous, turning around Precious Brown
