Almost Persuaded Songtext

von Etta James

Last night, all alone at a party
I met a man with a drink in his hand
He had such brown eyes and coal black hair
And a smile a girl could understand

Then he came and sat down at my table
And he placed his warm hand over mine
And I found myself wanting, longing 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, push my pride aside

Then we danced and he whispered, Babe, I need you now
He said to me, let me take you away,
Oh, I wanna be your man
Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it, yeah, I saw it
Saw the reflection of my, of my wedding band

I was almost, almost, almost persuaded
To let strange lips, somebody's lips lead me on
Almost persuaded
But your sweet love made me stop, made me stop and go home
