“Persuasion” is about a lover that makes a man stick to her like glue, willingly monogamous. This woman makes the singer feel so good, he doesn’t think there’s anyone better than her.
The instrumental has a funky vibe, starting with a high plucking riff from Carlos' guitar.
You got persuasion
I can't help myself
You got persuasion
I can't help myself
Something about you baby
Keeps me from goin' to somebody else
Yeah, I'm where you want me now, now, now baby
You put me in a daze all the time
Look what you got for me baby
Like the devil in disguise
Something about you baby
You're one, you're one of a kind
Oh this spell you put on me is just like thunder, babe
I can't keep the rain from comin' down
Look out now, can't get out from under
But I wouldn't want to even if I can
Something about you baby
Make me feel, make me feel like a man
