You and I Tempted by the promise of a different life Time has fled There's a constant battle running through my head I don't know what to do 'Cause I still believe After all the foolish things you've put me through I could always make a start on something new And I'll always be a man who's open to Persuasion Blind romance There'll be no half measures given half a chance But we never learn Trusting in the fire while the cruel flame burns And we need to rebuild What was never there What got left behind After all the foolish things that we've been through I could always make a start on something new And I'll always be a man who's open to Persuasion And it's written in the my heart So that everybody can see it And it's written in my soul After all, I still believe it I still believe it I still believe it I still believe it I don't know what to do 'Cause I still believe After all the foolish things you put me through I could always make a start with something new And I'll always be a man who's open to Persuasion Persuasion Persuasion Persuasion I still believe it I still believe it Persuasion I still believe it I still believe it I still believe it Persuasion Persuasion

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)

Thee I love, more than the meadow so green and still More than the mulberries on the hill More than the buds of a May apple tree, I love thee Arms have I, strong as the oak, for this occasion Lips have I, to kiss thee, too, in friendly persuasion Thee is mine, though I don't know many words of praise Thee pleasures me in a hundred ways Put on your bonnet, your cape, and your glove And come with me, for thee I love Friendly persuasion Thee is mine, though I don't know many words of praise Thee pleasures me in a hundred ways Put on your bonnet, your cape, and your glove And come with me, for thee I love
