Oh you're a precious little pearl But tell me true now Have you ever had a care in the world? Oh, tell me what's it all about? You say - oh, you're so uptight Well you'll never be so right Oh you can cry yourself dry But I'd be surprised if you can muster up a single crocodile You'll never be a hopeless child Throw caution to the wind Forgive yourself your sins And don't you know you Really are the sweetest thing There isn't heart enough on you Do you no longer care or feel that You have nothing left to prove? Oh, tell me that it isn't true I wanted to tell you That I used to admire you Oh, you know really that I don't cared No, I never cared for you But I used to read about you And you often would Throw caution to the wind And don't you know you Really are the sweetest thing
