Goldie Luxe - Mother's Pearls Lyrics

Sometimes when I'm on the street
Somebody's perfume will make my heart skip a beat
It's the one you used to where before
I'd recognize it anywhere it's Trèsor
Then suddenly the memories
Start flooding back to me
It's '93 and I see
Us sitting by your vanity
How you'd glow; How you'd shine
All I wanted was that life to be mine
But I'd grow up to find
Some dreams are just too blind
I'll never wear your mother's pearls
And I'll never be your little girl
But Mama that's alright at least I've got you in my life
I know I don't fit tradition right so I'll give up this fight
I'll never wear your mother's pearls
I'll never wear your mother's pearls
In the attic there's that portrait of you
The debutante of '72
You look so pretty all dressed up in white
But we both know I'll never have that rite and
I'll never wear your mother's pearls
I'll never be your little girl
But Mama that's alright at least I've got you in my life
I know I don't fit tradition right so I'll give up this fight
I'll never wear your mother's pearls
I'll never wear your mother's pearls
I'll never wear your mother's pearls
And I'll never be your little girl
Oh no...
