Almost Persuaded

Last night, all alone at a party

I met a man, oooooh, with a drink in his hand

he had soft brown eyes and coal black hair

And a smile a girl could understand

He came and set down at my table

And placed his warm hand, oooooooooh, on mine

I found myself wanting, longing, to kiss him, yes I did

For temptation was flowing like wine

Then we danced, we danced, he whispered

'Baby, I need you now'

'Let me take you away' oooooooooh 'I wanna be yo' man'

I looked in his eyes and I saw it, yes I saw it,

the reflection of my wedding band

I was almost, almost, almost persuaded

to lay my ol' consience right on the side

I was almost, almost, almost persuaded

aaahhhhooooooooohhhhh!
