She is a pyramid
But with him she's just a grain of sand
This love's too strong like mice and men
Squeezing out the life that should be let in
She was a hurricane
But now she's just a gust of wind
She used to set the sails of a thousand ships
Was a force to be reckoned with
She could be a statue of liberty
She could be a Joan of Arc
But he's scared of the light that's inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark
Oh, she used to be a Pearl... Ohh
Yeah, she used to rule the world... Ohh
Can't believe she's become a shell of herself
'Cause she used to be a pearl
She was unstoppable
Moved fast just like an avalanche
But now she's stuck deep in cement
Wishing that they'd never ever met
She could be a statue of liberty
She could be a Joan of Arc
But he's scared of the light that's inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark
Oh, she used to be a Pearl... Ohh
Yeah, she used to rule the world... Ohh
Can't believe she's become a shell of herself

There's a way out
There's a way out
There's a way out

Be held down
Be held down
Be held down
'Cause I used to be a shell
Yeah, I let him rule my world
My world, ohh, yeah
But I woke up and grew strong
And I can still go on
And no one can take my pearl
You don't have to be shell, No
You're the one that rules your world, ohh
You are strong and you'll learn
That you can still go on
And you'll always be a pearl
She is unstoppable

About this song: Pearl
Perry penned this song with Christopher "Tricky" Stewart and producer Greg Wells. Having nearly completed Teenage Dream, she felt the record was missing something and the singer told MTV News that she thinks this tune completes her record in just the right way. "I did one more song with Greg Wells, and it was called 'Pearl,' " Perry explained. "And it was kind of just like, 'All right, now I have this crown, and I have all these jewels, and I can put these little jewels into the crown, and I feel like it's a complete presentation, something I'm really proud of.
