Pearls Songtext
von Larkin Poe

I been biting off my tongue
My whole life
I been sweet, I been shy, I been dumb
But never impolite
Giving you the knife
To cut me down to size
Go on, gimme your advice
Hey, hey, hey

It′s like dreaming in a life
Living in a dream
I been weak, I been mean, I been nice
Fighting back a scream
Listening too hard
Got the sweetest little heart
I'm gonna blow it all apart
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey


You try to tell me what to do
You try tell me what to don′t
I do what I want, when I want
If I do or I don't, yeah, it will or it won't matter
I don′t tell you how to spin your world
Keep your pearls

Am I making any sense and
Do I really care?
If I′m not, if I got crazy thoughts
That you don't understand
′Cause I don't make demands
Just shake my hand the way you′d shake another man's
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Yeah

You try to tell me what to do
You try tell me what to don′t
I do what I want, when I want
If I do or I don't, yeah, it will or it won't matter
I don′t tell you how to spin your world
Keep your pearls

Keep your pearls
′Cause I don't want your pearls
Baby, keep your pearls
′Cause I don't want your pearls


You try to tell me what to do
You try tell me what to don′t
I do what I want, when I want
If I do or I don't, yeah, it will or it won′t matter
I don't tell you how to spin your world
No, I don't try to tell ya
I don′t tell you how to spin your world
Keep your pearls
