Trying to explain what you mean to me
Soon you're gonna realise
The games you've been playing, the things you've been saying
They come as no surprise
Don't talk to me of security
A feeling so far away
You'll need convincing - the misunderstanding
Will slowly drift away
Friendly persuasion is coming your way
Ooh, friendly persuasion - it's coming, it's coming your way
Good times that I've wasted
Must have been fooling myself
Thanks to you I'm well overdue
For a place back on the shelf
Imaginary love affair
Putting me on the line
We had it there at our fingertips
But it all disappeared with time
Friendly persuasion is coming your way
Ooh, friendly persuasion - it's coming, it's coming your way
Ooh, it's coming your way
Maybe someday you'll find a way
To say the things you want to say
'Cos now that you're gone I can't carry on
Don't lead me on this way
Help me, I'm falling into the heart of the storm
Stop me, I'm falling into the heart of the storm
Friendly persuasion is coming your way
Ooh, friendly persuasion - it's coming, it's coming your way
Ooh, it's coming your way
Maybe someday you'll find a way
To say the things you want to say
'Cos now that you're gone I can't carry on
Don't lead me on this way
Help me, I'm falling into the heart of the storm
Stop me, I'm falling into the heart of the storm
Ooh, help me I'm falling
Falling, into the heart of the storm
Mmm, help me I'm falling
Can't you see me falling into the heart of the storm
I'm falling
