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

Oh, I was almost, almost (persuaded)

To strip myself of my pride now

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"

Then 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 home
