"Pearls B4 The Swine (One Night Alone version)" Lyrics
Buy from iTunes: 
Da da da da da da da {x2}
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
Why we have 2 go our separate ways (Separate ways)
Whether or not we grow after the seeds are sown
Only time can say-ay-ay
Can I offer U baklava
Or a bagel with cream cheese?
Will we say grace 2 Our Father
Holding hands down on our knees?
Or are we better off just fighting:
U on your side, me on mine? (We don't have 2 fight) (No we don't)
Are 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 just want)
They knock U down and then
They lift U up again
Just 2 see U fall
But like a bird I'll keep on singing
A song that never leaves your mind
If nothing else U've taught me one thing:
"Never cast your pearls b4 the swine"
