Oh you're a precious little pearl,nBut tell me true now, have you ever had a care in the world?nSo tell me what's it all about?nnYou say oh, you're so uptight,nWell you'll never be so right.nnOh you can cry yourself dry,nBut I'd be surprised if you can muster up a single crocodile.nYou'll never be the hopeless child,nnThrow caution to the wind,nForgive yourself your sins,nAnd don't you know, you really are the sweetest thing.nnThere isn't heart enough in you,nDo you no longer care or feel that you have nothing left to prove?nOh tell me that it isn't true.nnI wanted to tell you,nI that I used to admire you,nOh you know you don't mean that I never cared,nNo I never cared for you,nBut I used to read about you and you offered me youth.nnThrow caution to the wind,nAnd don't you know, you really are the sweetest thing.
