She’s a sleep around girl
Not a cultured pearl
You won’t bring her home to Ma
Just talk discretely with your Pa
She’s a sleep around girl
Not a cultured pearl
She’s not the kind you’re gonna find
When you’ve got Jesus on your mind
A pretty smile, a fleeting glance
Wooed by beguile, you take a chance
You hold her closer than you should
Invite her home, she said she would
When morning comes, you wake alone
She passed nearby but left unknown
She’s a sleep around girl
Not a cultured pearl
You won’t bring her home to Ma
Just talk discretely with your Pa
She’s a sleep around girl
Not a cultured pearl
She’s not the kind you’re gonna find
When you’ve got Jesus on your mind
A fire burned, a shadow cast
An ember smolders from the past
Her eyes held secrets from your view
Behind the vision she saw through
Many a man who plucked a rose
Is that the only way love goes?
She’s a sleep around girl
Not a cultured pearl
You won’t bring her home to Ma
