Persuasion – Richard Thompson

You and I
Tempted by the promise of a different life
Time has fled
There’s a constant battle running through my head

And I don’t know what to do
‘Cause I still believe

After all the foolish things that we’ve been through
I could always make a start on something new
And I’ve always been 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 you put me 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 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, don’t you know
I still believe it

And I don’t know what to do
‘Cause I still believe

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, persuasion

Ooh I still believe it
Oh yes I still believe it
Oh don’t you know don’t you know don’t you know
Oh persuasion
Oh persuasion
I still believe it
