Are you my family?
Can I stay with you a while?
Can I stop off in your bed tonight?
I could make you smile
In the morning I'll make you breakfast
In the evening I'll warm the bed
And I'll always be happy to kiss you
Promise I'll never get sad
Till the siren come calling, calling
It's driving me evil, evil
I was a heart breaker, I loved you
The same way I do
But I've got so much wickedness and sin
My name is Pearl
And I'll love you the best way I know how
My blond curls slice through your heart
And the siren come calling
In the night, till the light
Help you dress yourself up fancy
Bathe you when you get sore
I'll be good, I think I could be all
You would want and more and more
Be proud when you dazzle the wondrous
Glitter your eyes for the town
Tell every last boy that you're my man
Try not to let you down
Till the siren come calling, calling
It's driving me evil, evil
I was a heart breaker, I loved you
The same way I do
But I've got so much wickedness and sin
My name is Pearl
And I'll love you the best way I know how
My blond curls slice through your heart
And the stars are exploding in the night
It won't be long until you'll break
No, it won't be long until you break
It won't be long until you break
It won't be long until you break
Cause I'm evil, 'cause I'm evil
Can I stay with you a while?
Can I stop off in your bed tonight?
I could make you smile
In the morning I'll make you breakfast
In the evening I'll warm the bed
And I'll always be happy to kiss you
Promise I'll never get sad
Till the siren come calling, calling
It's driving me evil, evil
I was a heart breaker, I loved you
The same way I do
But I've got so much wickedness and sin
My name is Pearl
And I'll love you the best way I know how
My blond curls slice through your heart
And the siren come calling
In the night, till the light
Help you dress yourself up fancy
Bathe you when you get sore
I'll be good, I think I could be all
You would want and more and more
Be proud when you dazzle the wondrous
Glitter your eyes for the town
Tell every last boy that you're my man
Try not to let you down
Till the siren come calling, calling
It's driving me evil, evil
I was a heart breaker, I loved you
The same way I do
But I've got so much wickedness and sin
My name is Pearl
And I'll love you the best way I know how
My blond curls slice through your heart
And the stars are exploding in the night
It won't be long until you'll break
No, it won't be long until you break
It won't be long until you break
It won't be long until you break
Cause I'm evil, 'cause I'm evil

Also, the song reminds me of the Greek Sirens that would lure men on ships form their voices. The Sirens were eaufitl, but were sneakily deadily
Personally, for me, this song is about somebody who longs to be the perfect girl/boyfriend to another, and aspires to do all of these typical things for them in order to make them happy -
"i could make you smile.
in the morning i'll make you breakfast
in the evening i'll warm the bed.
and i'll always be happy to kiss you"
All of these things seem to be what she perceives love as, and she longs to be part of it. However, when she talks of her 'alter ego' I feel she is trying to show who she really is, and the previous statements is a fantasy or form of denial ;
"i was a heartbreaker, i loved you
the same way i do.
i've got so much wickedness and sin.
my name is pearl
and i'll love you the best way i know how"
To me, it is obvious here that she know she can never love somebody as much as others could, as she has come to terms with her own selfish and destructive personality traits. There is a deep sense of regret in this song, I also feel that a sense of loneliness comes across as well as she wants so badly to be good to someone, but knows she never can as the inevitability of the relationship ending because of something she will do always hangs in the back of her mind.
To me it's like the scorpion and the frog.
"It won't be long until you leave
No, it won't be long until you break
It won't be long until you break
It won't be long until you leave
Cause I'm evil (x2)"
The other lyric that I don't think is correct is " I was a heart breaker, I loved you the same way I do"
If you listen carefully, especially to live performances of the song, it sounds more like "Mama was a heart break, I loved you the same way I do"
It's tricky to tell what she's saying, at first I thought it was "I was a heart breaker"
I think the song speaks of a girl who is very loving and nurturing(as the song describes), but has constant doubts and fears for her relationship. I think the siren stands as a metaphor for these doubts and fears(sirens are known to drive men insane as explained in a previous comment). I believe her greatest fear is that her boyfriend will leave her because she thinks she's not good enough(she's got so much wickedness and sin) for him and she constantly asks confirmation of him by saying things like: "Tell every last boy that you're my man". She tries to soothe herself by saying things like "I think I could be all that you want" and "I'll try not to let you down" (The "I'll try" and the "I think" ofcourse stand for her insecurity). She's very aware of her insecurity, and that might just be her greatest fear. She thinks her insecurity might be the thing that drives him away from her ("And the stars are exploding in your eyes"/"It won't be long until you break" -> The last drop for him).
