These pearls from my mother, passed down from her mother
Of everything they gave me, I treasure them most
Can´t wear them, can´t hold them, don´t come from the ocean

Oh, they´re way more precious than anything I own
They´re written in my soul

Remember who you are, and don´t forget to pray
Make sure he´s your best friend
When you give your heart away
Be kind, be strong,
Be someone everyone can count on
Yeah, someday
I´m gonna give my little girl
These pearls
oh yeah

I´ll teach her about 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 try

I´ll pass down the same words I´ve always heard
And she´ll carry them with her

Remember who you are, and don´t forget to pray
Make sure he´s your best friend
When you give your heart away
Be kind, be strong,
Be someone everyone can count on
Yeah, someday
I´m gonna give my little girl
These pearls
These pearls

She´ll tell her daughter, and she´ll tell hers too
I´ve saved these pearls just for you
Just for you

Remember who you are, and don´t forget to pray
Make sure he´s your best friend
When you give your heart away
Yeah, be kind, be strong,
Be someone everyone can count on
Yeah, someday
I´m gonna give my little girl
Oh someday
I´m gonna give my little girl
These pearls
These precious pearls
