He left you behind the same way you left meDarling I won't take prideOr bore you with some victory speechI didn't come around to try and pass judgement on you girlI'm just back here looking for a precious pearlA precious pearl that I let slip right through my handsA precious love that I have longed for ever sinceHow'd a treasure so rare get left behind somewhereI was fool to let my anger blind me girlSo I'm just back here looking for a precious pearl
SOLO
The good times we once sharedBurned up with our last bridgeAnd the past can't be repairedBut we might start all over againSo if you could use a old friend back here in your worldDarling I'm just looking for a precious pearlA precious pearl that I let slip right through my handsA precious love that I have longed for ever sinceHow'd a treasure so rare get left behind somewhereI was fool to let my anger blind me girlSo I'm just back here looking for a precious pearl
