[Verse 1]
It's what I want
Hurry and buy
All has been tried
Follow reason and buy

[Pre-Chorus]
Cannot shuffle in this heat
It's all wrong
Try to put that on your sleeve
It's all wrong, all wrong

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

[Verse 2]
It's what I want

Cannot put that in this heat

Try to wear that on my sleeve

She's got pretty persuasion
Goddamn, pure confusion
He's got pretty persuasion

All has been tried

It's all wrong
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-

R.E.M.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
