You can't steal the pearls from my eyes Though the pigs squeal in their cage What's been given to me, what's been chosen for my life Has been payed in full price There's a danger that hangs circles ‘round my feet See that man over there's trying to steal away the good I keep Pull your words out of wire tap phones Even to my mother I speak in signs and codes
Baby, take me away from this place Look at me hiding from every familiar face Put me in a dress and make believe I'm new But my face reveals all the bad I used to do You can't steal the pearls from my eyes Thou the pigs squeal in their cage Whats been given to me, whats been chosen for my life Has been payed in full price
