Precious Gift Lyrics by Helen J Shen, Courtney Bassett, Alyse Alan Louis

Teeth (Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording)

2024

[DAWN]
As Promise Keeper Girls we vow to keep our virtue
With this ring upon our fingers we abstain
As promise keeper girls we cleave to higher standards
We don't flinch, we prob'ly go against the grain
We're in the world, we're in the world, not of it
While other girls are spiritually adrift
They see their maidenhoods as nothing but a burden
But to us it's such a precious, precious gift
[DAWN & PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
A precious gift
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRL BECKY]
That's only for a husband
[DAWN & PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
A precious gift
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRL RACHAEL]
That comes wrapped in a bow
[DAWN & PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
A precious gift
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRL TRISHA]
With no returns or exchanges
[DAWN & PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
A precious gift
We get just one chancе to bestow
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRL FIONA]
As promise keeper girls wе're soldiers in battle
With this ring we sally forth to win the war
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRL KEKE]
His word is very clear, he gave us two choices
Take your pick, are you a virgin or a whore?
[DAWN & PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
Thank God for Jesus, thank God for Jesus
His blood is like pure honey on my lips
The gift he gave us, the gift he gave us
Stays locked up tight in a box at the meeting of my hips
[DAWN & PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
A precious gift
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRL TRISHA & FIONA]
That's not to be defiled
[DAWN & PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
A precious gift
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRL BECKY & RACHAEL]
It's what sets me apart
[DAWN & PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
A precious gift
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRL STEPHANIE]
My shiny little diamond
[DAWN & PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
A precious gift is not like sushi à la carte
[DAWN]
You're a promise keeper, girl
Who dared to break the promise
So judgment upon you must be swift
May you always feel the misery
The cold and the darkness
That comes from giving up your precious gift
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
A precious gift that she took for granted
[DAWN]
She took it for granted
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
A precious gift that she passed around
[DAWN]
And around and around
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
A precious gift you abused and discarded
[DAWN]
And discarded
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
A precious gift
For her boyfriend to pound
[DAWN]
Between my legs
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
A precious gift
You blessed us with a vulva
[DAWN]
Between my legs, God
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
A precious gift
You curse us with it too
[DAWN]
By day
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
By day
[DAWN]
By night
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
By night
[DAWN]
As promise keeper girls who fight
[DAWN & PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
Though at times it's such a heavy, heavy lift
[DAWN]
But I will
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
I will
[DAWN]
Not flee
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
Not flee
[DAWN]
You empower me
In the name
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
In the name
[DAWN]
In the name of my precious, precious gift
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
White wedding keep my legs closed
Jesus wants me for a sunbeam
[DAWN]
Precious gift
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
No coveting my neighbor's ass
No reaching for his fig leaf
[DAWN]
Precious gift
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
Hail Mary pray to kill the serpent
Coiled up inside me
[DAWN & PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
As daughters of God we would pluck out our eyes before
We would surrender our precious, precious
Gift
