Almost Persuaded

Etta James

    Continues after the ad

    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

    Continues after the ad

    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
