These pearls from my mother, passed down from her mother
Of everything they gave me, I treasure them most
Cant wear them, cant hold them, dont come from the ocean
Oh, theyre way more precious than anything I ownTheyre written in my soulRemember who you are and dont forget to pray
Make sure hes your best friend when you give your heart away
Be kind, be strong, be someone everyone can count on
Yeah, someday Im gonna give my little girl these pearls, oh yeah, yeahIll teach her about make-up, boyfriends and break-ups
