Broken String of Pearls -Barry Brown, Dave McConnell, Randall Prescott (1994) She stood on the corner in the pourin’ rain Knowin’ all too well she’d been stood up again. She’d wait a little longer for him to come 'Cause this time she really thought he was the one. She’s all dressed up with no place to go but home She gave all her love and what does she have to show. (Chorus:) Now her life is layin’ scattered on the floor Tiny beads that just don’t matter anymore. So why does she keep givin’ love a whirl When it comes undone like a broken string of pearls. So once again she wakes up all alone And tells the mirror that it should have known Well, at least no one can say she didn’t try But that won’t help to dry the tears she’s cried With a thread of hope she greets the morning sun Starts picking up the pieces one by one. (Chorus:) Cause her life is layin’ scattered on the floor Tiny beads that just don’t matter anymore So why does she keep givin’ love a whirl When it comes undone like a broken string of pearls. So why does she keep givin’ love a whirl When it comes undone like a broken string of pearls. Yeah, it comes undone like a broken string of pearls.
