Prince - Pearls before The Swine lyrics

[Verse] If I leave my front door open would you come and visit me? Just TO slander my name hoping That I would pack my bags and leave If I did would you remember To feed the dove and clean the cage? And never count in front of the children Lest they die of old age I don't really know you we have to go our separate ways Whether or not we grow after the seeds our sown Only time can say Can I offer you baklava Or a bagel with cream cheese? Will we say grace to our father Holding hands down on our knees? Are we better off just fighting? You on your side, me on mine Are the words that I keep writing Only pearls before the swine? What makes men claim that you are a friend When you are not at all? They knock you down and then They lift you up again, just to see you fall But like a bird I'll keep on singing A song that never leaves your mind If nothing else you have taught me one thing "Never cast your pearls before the swine"
