Persuasion Lyrics - Adam And The Ants

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, 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
