Almost Persuaded
Billy Sherrill / Glenn Sutton
Last night, all alone in a bar room
Met a man with a drink in his hand
He had baby blue eyes, coal black hair
And a smile that a girl understands
Then he came and sat down at my table
And as he placed his hand over mine
I found myself wanting 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 conscience aside
Then we danced and he whispered, I need you
Let me take you away, and be your man
Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band
And I was almost persuaded
To let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded
But your sweet love made me stop and go home
