Pearl Necklace Lyrics

Lyric discussion by MaryMaryQuiteContrary 

I find it humorous that nobody has yet to state what exactly a pearl necklace is. I used to party to this song as a teen yet didn't know what it was really about until I was much older. He's saying she's drunk and a little warped in what she wants. He was happy just getting "blown away" (sexually, of course...why wouldn't he be happy:). "She took her hand" and then he gave her a "pearl necklace." ...He excreted his "love juices' around her neck. That's the entire song... in a nut shell. (Perhaps not the best choice of wording:). Fun track and written at a time when sexual songs had to be clevely disguised. Sometimes less blantant is better...

Go check out the words to "Brown Sugar." The Stones version (ZZ top also does a song called brown sugar but a different version). They wanted to call it "Black Pussy."
