The other night precious, as I lay flaming
I dreamed I wore you on my finger
But when I awoke, precious, I was mistaken
So I killed some elves and I cried.

You are my precious, my only precious
You make me evil, as much as can be
You’ll never know precious, how much I need you
Please don’t take my power away

I’ll always find you and kill the Ringbearer,
If you will only lead him here.
But if you leave me and corrupt another,
You’ll regret it all some day:

You are my precious, my only precious
You make me evil, as much as can be
You’ll never know precious, how much I need you
Please don’t take my power away

You left me once, precious, when Isildur stole you
And you sank to the bottom of a stream.
But Gollum found you and you stayed with him;
You have shattered all of his dreams:

You are my precious, my only precious
You make me evil, as much as can be
You’ll never know precious, how much I need you
Please don’t take my power away

In all my schemes, precious, I need you with me,
Without you here my power wanes.
So when you come back and make me evil
I’ll forgive you precious, I’ll blame Isildur.

You are my precious, my only precious
You make me evil, as much as can be
You’ll never know precious, how much I need you
Please don’t take my power away
