Lyrics
Persuasion
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She's rich, she's powerful
She doesn't want to be a man (do do do do do)
She takes me as she finds me, like only a woman can-an-an-an yeah-ah
She's tough, but vulnerable, I'd say adoring
I'd like to say we're perfect...
But you know that would be boring
Clap your hands, pretty baby clap your hands
It's gonna take a little (oh)
Oh oh oh Persuasion
Do do do do do Persuasion
Oh oh oh Persuasion
You know what I mean now
Adore that shape
I really really don't know why
But as long as I live
I just can't help but try
Please don't say you love me, you saw us in a crystal
Every time you do that I'm reaching for my pistol
Clap your hands, pretty baby clap your hands
It's gonna take a little (oh)
Oh oh oh Persuasion
Do do do do do Persuasion
Oh oh oh Persuasion
You know what I mean now
Less about yesterday, more about forever
Keep it nice and simple, try not to be clever
It's nice to be right but on this occasion
Less about perhaps, more about Persuasion!
Oh oh oh Persuasion
Do do do do do Persuasion
Oh oh oh Persuasion
You know what I mean now
