Lyrics

Pearl Necklace

[Verse 1]

She's really upset with me again

I didn't give her what she likes

I don't know what to tell her

Don't know what to say

Everything got funky last night

[Chorus]

She was really bombed

And I was really blown away

And when I asked her what she wanted

And this is what she had to say

A pearl necklace

She want a pearl necklace

She want a pearl necklace

[Verse 2]

She gets a charge out of being so weird

Digs getting downright strange

But I can keep a handle on anything

Just this side of deranged

[Chorus]

She was gettin' bombed

And I was gettin' blown away

And she knew it in her head

And this is what she had to say

A pearl necklace

She want a pearl necklace

She want a pearl necklace

She want a pearl necklace

[Verse 3]

She is so tough

And pure as the driven slush

And that's not jewelry she's talking 'bout

It really don't cost that much

[Chorus]

She was gettin' bombed

And I was gettin' blown away

And she knew it in her head

And this is what she had to say

A pearl necklace

She want a pearl necklace

She want a pearl necklace

She want a pearl necklace
