Beamer \beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{<+->} and \pause for texts below itemize environment

Question

Consider the following MWE in which I need to add some texts below itemize environment and I use \beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{<+->}. When I add \pause above the texts, the result is that the slide with the two items is shown twice, which is undesirable. How can one show the slide only once?

    \documentclass{beamer} 
    \beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty
    \beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{<+->}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{A MWE}
\begin{itemize}
    \item item 1
    \item item 2
\end{itemize}
\pause
Some texts.
\end{frame}     
\end{document}
