Katy Perry - Pearl Lyrics

[HeartSetToLove]

pleasee look at my cover of a katy perry song and give me feedback!! i'd love you all forever :p

[Kyara7081]

This song needs to be in the radio, rather listen to this the Sexy and i know it

[jessie542lollypop542]

4:06... the best part.

[Ticothesquirrel1]

@jessie542lollypop542 Are you saying It's the best part because it's over? This song is beautiful. It let's people know that they are free. No one can take control of their world. It's because of people like you, many people can't experience complete freedom.

[jessie542lollypop542]

@Ticothesquirrel1 excuse m? dont talk to me like that...its because of oeople like YOU that a girl cant say one damn thing without being accused of saying something wrong... god damn.

[Ticothesquirrel1]

@jessie542lollypop542 You know what? I think were both right actually. I'm sorry for talking like that to you. I shouldn't have. People have opinions. 

[jessie542lollypop542]

@Ticothesquirrel1 i agree. and i am sorry for freaking out. you know what? i like you. it takes alot of guts to apoligize instead of keeping it going. :) thx. :P

[kitticrase2]

Mice and Men OMG English revision xD

[daniboy018]

Is this song about her and Travie McCoy?

[LOVEjohnnyDEPP3000]

first time listening Love it!

[Twighlight21fan]

reminds me of my cousin...

[TheAddams3]

<3

[rebaandkellyforever]

This is my #1 favourie son by Katy Perry, and I can relate to the lyrics so much. No one can take my pearl, that is dam straight!!! This song is so inspiring.

[firework1316]

i love this song! :)

[Elsie123345]

~ Oh she used to be a pearl! c;

[SelenaDemiJustinLove]

omg this soooooooo beautiful

[singingiswhatido512]

the 50 people who disliked it thought that the dislike button said "dis i like" :D

[peacemc123]

This video has a great message in it :) at it has such a good vocie singing it!!!

[tenebriousbeauty]

I mean, if you don't like something, don't watch it -.-'

[tenebriousbeauty]

How come 50 people play this video and dislike the song? I bet they don't even like Katy Perry and just checked in to prove how hateful they are -.-

[peacemc123]

@tenebriousbeauty i know right? like gee...

[haniex009]

I don't know how this song could be on the same album with callifornia gurls...

[manuejujuba]

ameiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!

[RandomArrictine]

Wow. This sounds like "Still Alive" from Portal

[Torilovescupcakes27]

49 people aren't pearls...

smh

[amrsoll]

I think there is too many mistakes in the lyrics.

[tigersblood123]

@amrsoll actually these r the offical lyrics i checked

[amrsoll]

@tigersblood123 then ive got nothing to say

[bekkii1994]

i really like this one, this and hummingbird heartbeat are the best on the ablum easily <3

[Lolita92310]

this is great <3

[StayStrongAndMoveOn]

@HollywoodSpears I disagree. I think it's about Katy and her past relationships and Russel.

[iNEEDkatyPERRY]

@StayStrongAndMoveOn it actually is about rihanna

katy said so herself in an interview it was her way of telling rihanna to stay strong :)

[HollywoodSpears]

@iNEEDkatyPERRY

awesome, do u know what interview?

[iNEEDkatyPERRY]

@HollywoodSpears i think that it was in a magazine but i really dont know which one sorry i couldnt help

[StayStrongAndMoveOn]

I think this is a great song. So empowering and moving. I LOVE it

[HollywoodSpears]

i think she wrote this about Rihanna & Chris Brown

cuz this album came out a year after there big fight & riri talked about katy in a mag interview recently saying : " She was everything I wanted to be. Katy goes on the stage as she wants. She dresses as she prefers and says what she wants. Now I do it too."

also in rated r album stupid in love she mentions katy warned her about chris, so i think katy could of wrote this song, saying how rihanna came out of her shell, and shes stronger now....

[Glitz2010]

im so sad the katy and russel are splitting :(

[GIRsgf120]

im goinng to make a vid of me singing this =)

[cyes5031700]

unbeatable lyrics and voice......

make me blink back tears of deep impression

thumbs up if you think k.perry should feature more songs like this one!!

[LPSdreamprouductions]

This could be a good christmas song. She was a candy cane -cane-cane

[ILoveHarryandRon2000]

@LPSdreamprouductions LOL

[fanpy123]

[ShelbytehRaccoon]

a friend of mine is dating one of the stupidest and cruelest boys i've seen, who clearly doesn't care about her. yet for whatever reason, she stays with him. this song reminds me so much of them. it makes me want to tell my friend that she deserves so much better

[lolomg9823]

[ShelbytehRaccoon]

@lolomg9823 i'm seriously considering it...

[XxLoVexXHeArTXx]

@daniboy018 Way to go and ruin it for people who haven't heard it..

[daniboy018]

@XxLoVexXHeArTXx sorry....I didn't mean for it to be come a top comment :P

[TeganLillyRose]

[KittieClaws7]

[B2mank]

When I first time heard this song It was like Its so my story. My ex was completely trying to rule my world and change me and make me who I am not. I realised that its not gonna work. And broke my engagement. It was the happiest moment of my life when I felt my self again. Love you katy for this beautiful song.

[belloveable]

i think this is gonna go mainstream soon ...

[pearldsouza30]

Omg!! I found this song at the hardest time of my life and it helped me sooo much.Its like Katy wrote this song for me and its also ironic that my name is actually Pearl!!!

[MrXxR3DxX]

HI SHE IS SO AWESOME



[amn23451]

This is one of my favorite songs from her. for some reason i always get the song name mixed up with the name, "pyramid."

[123HaleyC]

Katy Perry is seriously a role model. Firework, teaching kids to be who you are because your true self is best. Last Friday Night featuring Rebecca Black the one who sang about Friday that all haters tease. And more, i love her and all the celebrities using their fame for good and to make a difference.

[warriormania4]

Why is this not popular?

[bigman1335]

@warriormania4 if you interpret this its not about a boy and girl its about something bigger listen to it again and have a open mind and you will get then listen to who am I living for by katy perry and interpret that one and you will then defiantly understand

[EricCartmanOfficialx]

@warriormania4 It hasn't been releised!

[wackyerasers2]

A-MAZ-ING SONG <3 <3 Can yu tell me which program yu used, @lyriczgo ? <3

[friendshipsystem]

This song reminds me of my friend's relationship. Makes me sad.

[LittleMissJenniPenni]

[AnnaJane24]

[Mikepeterslovealways]

This is my older sister's themesong. She loves this boy so much and lets him bring her down, he like darkens her spotlight and stuff. Too bad she doesn't see it.

[sarahcb87]

So many people misinterpret this song. It is NOT about dumping your jerk boyfriend, it is about how she "Sold her soul" for fame instead of following God's plan. "She is a pyramid" means a temple of the Holy Spirit 1Cor 6:19-20. She grew impatient when her Gospel album did not make it and gave in to the industry (The "him" she is talking about in the song). To him she is just a grain of sand. She is only a paycheck and has to do things that defile her body and morals to be famous.

[sarahcb87]

@sarahcb87 In the bible Jesus is referred to as the most priceless pearl, the way to Heaven Matt13: 45, 46. She was a spiritual person, a temple, and now she can't believe she's a shell of herself. This was never the path she intended to take. She was capaple of doing great works for God with her music, motivate many people with her faith (she was a hurricane; set the sails of a thousand ships), but now she is just another meaningless pop star.

[MrHunterPony99]

@sarahcb87 nope im pretty sure its about dumping her jerk boyfriend

Have A Nice Day!!

[sarahcb87]

@MrHunterPony99 okay if you say so ;) have a nice day yourself.

[sarahcb87]

"Don't you know that there's a way out; you don't have to be held down; you don't have to be a shell..." Her message to people is do not compromise your values/morals/beliefs for material things because it is not worth it.

[Nook782]

@sarahcb87 I think it's more like the opposite. "'Cause I use to be a shell, I let him rule my world", "I woke up and grew strong".

She was kept in a church-related close mentality but then she discovered there's another world.

In this song "she" WAS a pearl and then becomes a shell, but then Katy says the thruth about herself (cause I used to be...) which is the opposite: she WAS a shell.

Not saying religion is bad or anything btw. :)

[sarahcb87]

@Nook782 Yes, I see your point of view. I'm not sure if you read my other 2 comments about this, but they should explain my point of view. I think she says at the end of the song "I used to be a shell" because she realized what being famous cost her. She is a mainstream artist which means the industry pretty much makes her decisions for her. Now she has "woke up" and knows she can "go on" with or without her fame, cuz it's not what it was cracked pu to be. That is just my POV Of the song.

[poogle48130]

I'm pretty sure the pearl represents virginity

[gottaloveJustinBieb]

@poogle48130 ummm no. Get your mind out of the gutter.

[RoboMojoOreo115]

This is the side of katy perry that I love

[RANDApearl]

my great-grandmother's name was pearl, and now thats my middle name..i've never met her because she died, but i was told she was sweet and kind to everyone, so im trying to be like her and follow in her footsteps

[autumn22love]

DON'T READ THIS CAUSE IS ACTUALLY WORKS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR IFE, TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE HOWEVER IF YOU DON'T POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST THREE VIDESO YOU WILL DIE WITHIN TWO DAYS. NOW YOU STARTED READING THIS DON'T STOP. THIS IS SO SCARY. PUT THIS ON AT LEAST FIVE VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN YOU'RE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT WORKS

[yayballet8]

[ilovemusic008777]

No one is probably gonna read this

Im just gonna type it any way because i feel at least one person will,

I would love nothing more than to have a decent following on youtube from people

[natandjos101]

Another great Katy Perry song that is so true :)

[perfectmodel10]

i let a dude rule my world he used to be mean to me but i broke free and dumped his sorry a** :/ no guy can treat me or anyother girl like that go and be a pearl everyone desevers to be free and happy :)

[perfectmodel10]

@perfectmodel10 and also ont be a shell even if ur not with a dude u dont have to be afraid of urself or anyone eles u gotta remember u have to live life to the max cause u never know when that day could be ur last dont be afriad to show who u are to the world :)

[Dayna154]

This song reminds me of one of my best friends. She was such a spirit. Life of the party, the one boys fall in love with, the type who can make you laugh no matter what. But then she met him. And he broke her. And it took her a year and a half to get away from him. He beat her, never let her see her friends, he would take her phone and go through it, hack her facebook. And even though she found the strength to get rid of him. The fear of him still controls her.

[AdDiCtEdToYoU12100]

@Dayna154 Awe the same thing happened to my mom her husband did the same thing.

[Dayna154]

@AdDiCtEdToYoU12100 And its the most frustrating thing in the world when you try to help them! I remember I saw my friends boyfriend choke and punch her. And he saw me and walked away. (coward) and I ran over to her and she collapsed in my arms and started to cry. I remember I wanted to KILL her boyfriend.

[perfectmodel10]

@Dayna154 soo true soo true :I it never happend to anyone i no but see it alot at school

[Dayna154]

@perfectmodel10 Thats where I saw that guy hit her. And people didn't even do anything. I went to the Principle and told him I was going to beat the shit out of him if I see or hear that he did that again. And what did he say to me and my friend?

"I can't do anything. You and your friend need to work this out yourselves."

Oh yeah. Because two girls who can be easily killed by this guy will do something.

[perfectmodel10]

@Dayna154 i know some people even adults dont care about whats going on in peoples lives all they care about is themselves : / such a evil world these days :(

[AdDiCtEdToYoU12100]

@Dayna154 Awe really? Did she report it??



[Dayna154]

@AdDiCtEdToYoU12100 Yes. Me and her both reported it to the principle. And what did he do? Nothing.

[AdDiCtEdToYoU12100]

@Dayna154 WOW!~ What a asshole.

[Dayna154]

@AdDiCtEdToYoU12100 Yep. He was all like. "Theres no evidence he really did that." I was like

"Cameras. Witnesses. Bruises." And he was like to my friend, "If you want it to be better break up with him."

WHEN SHE CANT!!!

[AdDiCtEdToYoU12100]

@Dayna154 Wow! Thats what I call a lowlife

[Dayna154]

@AdDiCtEdToYoU12100 Mhm. I hate him.

[AdDiCtEdToYoU12100]

@Dayna154 I would too

[TheRoodrigoo3]

This song really makes me wanna cry specially since 2:26

[JoaoPedro1409]

I Love Katy And I Love This Music

[daphnegomez48]

Pearl = Virgin

Shell = Loosy Gossie

He ruled you = Got you pregnat

terms, (Dont let him take your virginity,) (Cause i used to be a Loosie gossie)

(Yeah i let him get me pregnat) It kinda sounded like that when i went asleep to this song anyways i love this song<3

[Smexxisakuragrl]

10 Thumbs Up If i should sing this song on youtube and all over Prophet River (where i live) My Mother said My Grand Mother Sounded like this song...

[AvrilLavigneisTABEST]
