zz top - pearl necklace lyrics

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.

she was really bombed,
and i was really blown away,
until i asked her what she wanted,
and this is what she had to say:
a pearl necklace.
she wanna pearl necklace.
she wanna pearl necklace.

she gets a charge out of bein' so weird,
digs gettin' downright strange.
but i can keep a handle on anything,
just this side of deranged.

she was gettin' bombed,
and i was gettin' blown away,
and she held it in her hand
and this is what she had to say:
a pearl necklace.
she wanna pearl necklace.
she wanna pearl necklace.

she is so tough, as pure as the driven slush.
and that's not true what she's talkin' about, [see notes]
it really don't cost that much.

she was gettin' bombed,
and i was gettin' blown away,
and she took it in her hand,
and this is what she had to say:
a pearl necklace.
she wanna pearl necklace.
she wanna pearl necklace.
