And we stare each other down Like victimes in the grind Probing all the weakness and hurt Still left behind and we cry The tears of pearls We do it. Oh we do it.
Is love really the tragedy? The way you might describe Or would a thousand lovers Still leave you cold inside? Make you cry... These tears of pearls
Chorus: All these mixed emotions We keep locked away Like stolen pearls Stolen pearl devotions We keep locked away from all the world
Your kisses are like pearls, so different and so rare But anger stole the jewels away And love has left you bare, Made you cry... These tears of pearls
Well I could be the tired joker Pour my heart to get you in Sacrifice my happiness Just so I could win Maybe cry... These tears of pearls
Chorus: All these mixed emotions We keep locked away like stolen pearls Stolen pearl devotions We keep locked away from all the world
Bridge: We twist and turn where angels burn Like fallen soldiers, we will learn That once forgotten, twice removed Love will be the death, the death of you... Baby! C'mon darlin' Mm, mm, mm, mm... Yeah....
Chorus: All these mixed emotions We keep locked away like stolen pearls Stolen pearl devotions We keep locked away from all the world
All these mixed emotions We keep locked away like stolen pearls Stolen pearl devotions We keep locked away from all the world
