Little girl, little girl
You’re not one in a string of pearls
You’re the mother pearl

Little girl, it’s your world
I’ll take you to the place my dreams uncurl
I’ll give you my word

I’ll give you my hand
I’ll give you my ring
I’ll give you anything

I watch you grow, I watch you work
You work like a dog until your feet hurt
Still got time to hold me when my heart don’t work

You hold me close, I feel at home
We come and go but we’re not alone
We’re the lucky ones

I’m the lucky one, I found you
You hold me up, you keep me true
Do anything I ask of you

Little girl, little girl
I’ll be yours until I’m old and gray
Yours until I pass away

Little girl, it’s your world
Take me to the place your dreams uncurl
Give me your word

Give me your hand
Give me your ring
Give me everything

You watch me grow, you watch me work
I work like a dog until my neck hurts
Still got time to hold you when your heart don’t work

I hold you close, you feel at home
We come and go but we’re not alone
We’re the lucky ones

You’re the lucky one, you’ve got me
I hold you up, I set you free
Do anything you ask of me
