"Ain't Persuaded Yet" lyrics - TRIGGER HIPPY

By the glinting of the sun I saw a pistol in his hand
Looked into the eyes of the man I love
Convinced that I had cheated, he had come to take my life
I found myself pleading to the skies above

His fingers they were trembling
His eyes were full of tears
I could smell the whiskey on his breath
How could I take a bullet for something I ain't done
How could this be the hour of my death

"Oh, I never would step out on you
Now what you heard, it just ain't true
Baby, don't do something you'll regret."
He said, "Your words are sweet,
But I ain't persuaded yet."

"I know the girl who told you that I have been untrue
There's only one who'd like to see me dead
She'd sacrifice me gladly, she'd tell you any lie
She only wants to get you in her bed"

"Oh, I never would step out on you
What you heard, it just ain't true
Baby, don't do something you'll regret."
He said, "Your words are sweet,
But I ain't persuaded yet."

How I long, how I long, how I long to be a single girl again
How I long, how I long, how I long to be a single girl again
How I long, how I long, how I long to be a single girl again
How I long, how I long, how I long to be a single girl again

Oh, oh, oh...
The tears, they blocked his vision
He turned to wipe his eyes
I saw my chance; I turned around and fled
Out the door and down the street
Branches clinging to my feet
Bullets whizzing all around my head

"Oh no, I never would step out on you, baby
What you heard, it just ain't true",
Said, "Baby, don't do something you'll regret."
He said, "Your words are sweet,
But I ain't persuaded yet."
