Lyrics of Pearl by Katy Perry

Verse

She is a pyramid

But with him she′s just a grain of sand

This love's too strong like mice and men

Squeezing out the life that should be let in

Verse

She was a hurricane-cane-cane-cane

Yeah, she used to rule the world... Ohh

Can′t believe she′s become a shell of herself

'Cause she used to be a pearl

′Cause I used to be a shell

Yeah, I let him rule my world

My world, ohh, yeah

But I woke up and grew strong

And I can still go on

And no one can take my pearl

Verse

You don't have to be shell, No

You′re the one that rules your world, ohh

You are strong and you'll learn

That you can still go on

Verse

And you'll always be a pearl

Outro

She is unstoppable
