Almost Persuaded
Almost persuaded
Last night all alone in a barroom
Met a guy with a drink in his hand
He had great big blue eyes, coal black hair
And a smile that a girl understands
Then he came and sat down at my table
And as he placed his hand over mine
I found myself wanting to kiss him
For temptation was flowing like wine.
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside
Then we danced and he whispered, "I need you,
Let me take you away and be your man"
Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band
But I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop
And go home.

For temptation was flowing like wine.
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside
Then we danced and he whispered, "I need you,

Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band
But I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop
And go home.
