These pearls from my mother, passed down from mother Of everything they gave me, I treasure them most Can’t wear can’t hold them, don’t come from the ocean Oh, they’re way more precious than anything I own written in my soul
(Chorus:) Remember who you are, and don’t forget to pray sure he’s your best friend When you give your heart away kind, be strong, Be someone everyone can count Yeah, someday I’m gonna give my little girl These pearls
I’ll teach her make-up, boyfriends and break-ups I’ll share all the wisdom I’ve ever learned Like beauty’s on the inside, give it your best I’ll pass down the same words I’ve always heard And she’ll carry them her
(Chorus)
She’ll tell her daughter, and she’ll tell too I’ve saved these pearls just for you
