Pearls B4 The Swine Lyrics

Artist: Prince (Buy Prince CDs)
Album: One Nite Alone

If I leave my front door open
would u come and visit me?
Just 2 slander my name hopin'
that I would pack my bags and leave...
If I did would u remember
2 feed the dove and clean the cage?
And never count in front of the children
lest they die of old age

I don't really know y we have 2 go r separate ways
Whether or not we grow after the seeds r shown
Only time can say...

Can I offer u baklava?
or a bagel with cream cheese?
Will we say grace 2 r father
holding hands down on r knees?
R we better off just fighting?
U on ur side, me on mine
R the words that I keep writing...
only pearls b4 the swine?
What makes men claim that u're a friend
when u're not at all?
They knock u down and then,
they lift u up again, just 2 c u fall...
But like a bird I'll keep on singing...
a song that never leaves ur mind
If nothing else u've taught me one thing...
"Never cast ur pearls b4 the swine"

This song has amazing insight and morals. The song is in his top ten of all time . By far u r the epitomy of an arranger, composer, producer and performer. Ive been a fan since soft and wet. U are the LEADER , the rest can only follow.
