We were young We were foolish too Couldn't wait another year Watching all those around crawl and fall We were clusters of pearls I saw a little girl And she made me think of you And if you sold your virtue for his gold Did you fold, or were you a cluster of pearls There are things between a woman and her man In the dark, that make the problems seem small We're bound by a street car named desire Desire ain't no cluster of pearls I stole what I could from the thieves I gave more than I could keep Last I heard they were searching round the world For the girl called "Cluster of Pearls"
