[Verse 1]
It's what I want
Hurry and buy

Try to put that on your sleeve
It's all wrong, all wrong

It's what I want
Hurry and buy

Follow reasoning
[Pre-Chorus]
Cannot put that in this heat
It's all wrong
Try to wear that on my sleeve
It's all wrong, all wrong
[Chorus]

She's got pretty persuasion
Goddamn, pure confusion
He's got pretty persuasion
[Bridge]

[Verse 1]
It's what I want

Cannot wear that on your sleeve
It's all wrong, all wrong
[Chorus]
He's got pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
Goddamn, pure confusion
He's got pretty persua-
