Pearl Necklace
ZZ Top Lyrics

She was really bombed
And I was really blown away

She gets a charge out of bein' so weird
Digs gettin' downright strange
But I can keep a handle on anything
Just this side of deranged

She was gettin' bombed
And I was gettin' blown away
And she held it in her hand
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace
She want a pearl necklace
She want a pearl necklace

She's so tough, as pure as the driven slush
And that's not jewelry she's talkin' about
It really don't cost that much

She was gettin' bombed
And I was gettin' blown away
And she took it in her hand
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace

She want a pearl necklace
She want a pearl necklace

The ZZ Top song Pearl Necklace speaks about the singer's partner being upset because he didn't give her what she likes. The singer explains that he doesn't know what to say to her because everything got funky the night before. The woman was really drunk, and the singer was blown away until he asked her what she wanted, and she said she wants a pearl necklace. The woman gets a charge out of being weird and getting downright strange. The singer can handle anything she throws at him without becoming deranged. The singer emphasizes that the pearl necklace the woman wants isn't actually jewelry and doesn't cost that much.

She's really upset with me again
My significant other is angry with me once more.

I didn't give her what she likes
I failed to satisfy her sexual desires.

I don't know what to tell her
I am unsure how to respond to her anger and disappointment.

Don't know what to say
I am at a loss for words to communicate how I feel or what I want.

Everything got funky last night
Things became confusing, awkward, and possibly sexually charged last night.

She was really bombed
She was drunk and possibly impaired in her judgments.

And I was really blown away
I was also intoxicated and unable to think clearly.

Until I asked her what she wanted
I inquired about her sexual desires.

And this is what she had to say:
She disclosed her sexual preference to me.

A pearl necklace
She desires a strand of pearl jewelry around her neck.

She gets a charge out of bein' so weird
She feels a sense of excitement in engaging in taboo or unconventional sexual behavior.

Digs gettin' downright strange
She enjoys engaging in explicit and unconventional sexual acts.

But I can keep a handle on anything
I have the ability to manage any sexual behavior or kink.

Just this side of deranged
My sexual desires are slightly unconventional or taboo.

And she held it in her hand
She held a pearl necklace in her hand.

She's so tough, as pure as the driven slush
She is strong and resilient, but her sexual desires are unconventional.

And that's not jewelry she's talkin' about
She is not referring to actual jewelry, but rather an explicit sexual act.

It really don't cost that much
This sexual act isn't expensive or hard to obtain.

And she took it in her hand
She held the pearl necklace in her hand again.

She want a pearl necklace
She desires to engage in a specific sexual act.

She want a pearl necklace
She desires to engage in a specific sexual act.

She want a pearl necklace
She desires to engage in a specific sexual act.
