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
