Ain’t Persuaded Yet - 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.»
