You wear around your neckline
a lucid strand of pearls
but to think they hold your beauty -
an error made by girls
Pearls do complement the woman
everyone knows it's true
but yet something more goes on
beyond what pearls can do
See, a pearl can only focus
the charms you keep inside
yes, the woman is the secret
the pearls bring out with pride
For a pearl alone is nothing
just some small piece of grit
they only enhance the beauty
that's there before they're fit
So wear your pearls on the evenings
and look your very best
but the beauty lies within you
it matters not to how you're dressed!
