Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's what I want
Hurry and buy
All has been tried
Follow reason and buy
[Verse 2]
Cannot shuffle in this heat
It's all wrong
Try to put that on your sleeve
It's all wrong, all wrong
[Verse 3]
He's got
Pretty persuasion
She's got
Pretty persuasion
[Verse 4]
God damn
Pure confusion
She's got
Pretty persuasion
[Verse 5]
It's what I want
Hurry and buy
All has been tried
Follow reasoning
[Verse 6]
Cannot put that in this heat
It's all wrong
Try to wear that on my sleeve
It's all wrong, all wrong
[Verse 7]
He's got
Pretty persuasion
She's got
Pretty persuasion
[Verse 8]
God damn
Pure confusion
He's got
Pretty persuasion
[Verse 9]
In the light I saw
Quite a scene in there
[Verse 10]
It's what I want
Hurry and buy
All has been tried
Follow reason and buy
[Verse 11]
Try to put that in this heat
It's all wrong
Cannot wear that on your sleeve
It's all wrong, all wrong
[Verse 12]
He's got
Pretty persuasion
She's got
Pretty persuasion
[Verse 13]
God damn
Pure confusion
He's got
Pretty persua-
