Here I am just like I was before
I promised myself I wouldn't do it no more
But a little persuasion by the touch of your hand
Started the fire all over again

I wanted to prove it was over and done
And all of a sudden my moment had come
But a little persuasion weakened me so
The rest of the story you already know

Friendly persuasion pushed me over the line
Ooh, friendly persuasion, do it every time

My first mistake was when I looked in your eyes
It would have been smarter just to walk on by
But a little hello was all that you said
The rest I don't remember I was out of my head

The friendly persuasion pushed me over the line, Ooh
Friendly persuasion, do it every time
Ooh baby

Ooh, just a little persuasion weakened me so
The rest of the story you already know

(Friendly persuasion) Ooh (pushed me over the line)
Pushed me over the line
(Friendly persuasion) Ooh, do it (do it every time)
Do it, do it, do it every, every time
(Friendly persuasion) You, you (pushed me over the line)
You done talking
(Friendly persuasion) Before I do (do it every time)
(Friendly persuasion) Friendly persuasion (pushed me over the line)
You pushed me, pushed me
(Friendly persuasion) Agh you, you (pushed me over the line)
I could't help myself, you pushed me
(Friendly persuasion) Friendly persuasion (pushed me over the line)
Ohh, ohh
(Friendly persuasion) Friendly persuasion (pushed me over the line)
Do it, do it, do it, do it
(Friendly persuasion) Friendly persuasion (pushed me over the line)
