I got the idea for the lyrics from my refrigerator magnets.

Why Pierce That
(words and music by Sam Pointer)

People been piercing their ears a long long time
Seems like they can all still hear just fine
But some things are more precious than your lobes
Why you want to mess with one of those

Why pierce that
Ain’t you gonna use it
Why you abuse it
Why pierce that

I don’t mind a ring in your nose
‘Cause if you rip that open, that’s how it goes
Even your navel, now that ain’t no big thing
But some accidents might do much more than sting

Why pierce that
Ain’t you gonna use it
Why you abuse it
Why pierce that

Some things just don’t need to be improved
So don’t even talk to me about a tattoo

So you can puncture what you will
More power to you
But use some common sense
A little dab’ll do you
Man or woman, boy or girl,
Remember you only get one pearl
So let it shine on all the world
It started out just fine

Why pierce that
Ain’t you gonna use it
Why you abuse it
Why pierce that

Oh, why pierce that
Ain’t you gonna use it
Why you abuse it
Why pierce that

Remember where it’s at
Why pierce that
