“I Have Lost My Pearls” is a song concerning a girl’s purity – and the tainting society which we live in.
Gus calls out men who are lustful instead of sentimental within a relationship – or, when applied to a more extreme scenario, exploit the girl for sex, taking advantage of her purity.
[Verse 1]
Please don't speak
Don’t make a peep and wake her vacant spark
Please don't eek
Don’t make a creak and shake her aching heart
She's so sweet
Don’t make a scene and break her brazen charm
She's so weak
Just leave her be, a ways away from harm
Stop with gawking
Making mockeries to seize the light
Stop with talk
Your gaping chops will taunt and tease her might
Soft like cotton
Breaking constantly, she has tears to wipe
Watched her blossom, oh
[Chorus]
Worth your ear, huh?
Hurts to hear, huh?
[Verse 2]
Hold your mutter
If you love her, leave these dreams to grow
Hold your blunder
She won’t run from greed with reek of hope
Fold like butter
Under summer breeze, a pleasing cold
Phoney lover, no
[Chorus]
Worth your ear, huh?
Hurts to hear, huh?
Worth your ear, huh?
Hurts to hear, huh?
[Outro]
Wait up, sir
What have you heard?
That sounds absurd
For I'm not hurt
I have lost my pearls
Both my pearls
