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 set down at my table
And placed his warm hand on mine
And I found myself wanting, longing, to kiss him, yes, I did
For temptation was flowing like wine

I was almost, almost persuaded
Just strip myself of my pride
Almost, almost persuaded
Push my, push my conscience right on side

Then we danced, 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, yes, I saw it
I saw the reflection of my, my wedding band

I was almost, almost, almost persuaded, yes, I was
To let a strange lips, somebody's lips to hold mine, to love me
I was almost, persuaded
For your, your sweet love made me stop, made me stop and go on
