Think I might forget it, gonna write it down-down-down
If you just regret it, don't bring your ass around-round-round
It is what it is until it was what it was
So just keep on swingin', if only because-cause-cause

I can tell by the look, you don't mean what you say
Like a sentimental crook, it's tough to get away
If it even would matter, I would play every part
But I'm too overeager and I just false start

Oh, sister of pearl, I wouldn't change you for the world
Oh, sister of pearl, I wouldn't change you for the world
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh

Think I might forget it, gonna write it down-down-down
If it's copacetic, bring it back around-round-round
I'm tired of fighting another man's pointless war
So please keep up with it just like you have before

I can tell by the look, you mean what you say
Like a sentimental crook, it's tough to get away
If it even would matter, I would play every part
But I'm too overeager and I just false start

Oh sister of pearl, I wouldn't change you for the world
Oh sister of pearl, I wouldn't change you for the world
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
