Richard Thompson
Persuasion
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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 (Oh)
I still believe it (C'mon now)
I still believe it (Yeah)
I still believe it

[Verse 3]
I don't know what to do
'Cause I still believe

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
