Almost Persuaded
Glenn Sutton, Billy Sherrill
[Verse 1]
Last night all alone in a barroom
Met a man with a drink in his hand
He had big brown eyes, coal black hair
And a smile that a girl understands
Then he came, he sat down at my table
And as he placed, placed his hand over mine
I found myself wanting to kiss him
You know temptation was flowing like wine
[Chorus]
And I was almost persuaded
To strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded
To push my conscience aside
[Verse 2]
Then we danced and he whispered, "I need you"
"Let me take you away, let me be your man"
Then I looked, looked into his eyes, and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band
[Chorus]
But I was almost persuaded
To let strange lips lead me on
Almost, almost persuaded
But your sweet love made me stop and go home
