Black Pearl

Verse 1
"I've got a little problem", she said
With a shift of her hips she was out of my bed
Then standing in the corner with her hands on her head

Verse 2
She said, "The world is too big of a place for me
"I'm seeing things I don't want to see
Tempted to be things I do not want to be..."

-CHORUS-
I just want to feel (live) this love
I'm tired of this pain
So caught up in my anger
Drowning in its wake

Verse 3
Once I was that little girl
I had a few problems with this world
But the world was an oyster, I was its black pearl

Verse 4
And now I'm tall enough to see their eyes
I'm strong enough to fight their lies
I am big enough, don't need to worry about my size

Verse 5
I'm fast enough so I don't need to run
I'm smart enough, I don't need their guns
And, yes, I work too hard but I still know how to have my fun

-CHORUS TWO- (2X)
And I'm gonna feel (live) this love
Cause I'm tired of this pain
They're caught up in their anger
So let them drown in its wake

2nd ending
Let them drown in its...
Let them drown in its...
Let 'em drown in its wake
