Ain’t Persuaded Yet

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."
