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
ย
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
