Lyrics

Little precious Ooh, yeah Little precious waits alone Tears of fear 'til he gets home Chilled deep down to the bone No food, no friends, no telephone Suddenly he's at the door Ugly footsteps on the floor Wondering what he's got in store What now, what next, what's my life for? Another night of silent crying So ashamed she feels like dying Break these chains of pain Don't take it any longer Break these chains of hate Little precious, you are stronger Off by heart she knows the plan When he reaches out his hand He says: "Girl, don't you understand I love you more then any man" As she sits there on the stairs Whispering her silent prayers She sheds a tear and just despairs Please, God, no more this just ain't fair Lives in fear every day But she's too scared to run away Break these chains of pain (Of pain) Don't take it any longer (Don't take it any longer) Break these chains of hate Little precious, you are stronger Precious Didn't know which way to turn Isolated from the world And one day she heard a voice Tellin' her she had a choice Woman talkin' on TV Sayin': "Hey! You can be free You're not alone no way, get up, girl And break those chains" Break these chains (These chains) of pain (Of pain) Don't take it any longer Break these chains of hate (Of hate) Little precious, you are stronger Little precious, you are stronger than you know You know you're stronger Break these chains of pain Don't take it any longer Break these chains of hate Lil' precious, you are stronger
