Almost Persuaded |
| Last night, all alone at a party |
| I met a man with a drink in his hand |
| He had soft brown eyes and coal black hair |
| And a smile a girl could understand |
| Then he came and sat down at my table |
| And placed his warm hand on mine, now |
| And I found myself wanting, longing to kiss him, yes I did |
| For temptation was flowing like wine |
| And oh I was all, almost persuaded |
| To strip myself apart, apart, yes |
| Oh almost, nearly persuaded now |
| To push my, push my ole conscience right on the side |
| Then we danced, then we danced, he whispered, «Baby, I need you now» |
| He said to me, «Let me take you away, ooh I wanna be your man» |
| Than I looked in his eyes and I saw it, yeah I saw it |
| I saw the reflection of my, my wedding band |
| Oh I was almost, almost, almost persuaded, yes I was |
| To let a strange lips, somebody’s lips lure me, lure me on, now |
| Oh I was almost, yeah nearly, nearly persuaded |
| But your, your sweet love made me stop, made me stop and go on |
