Almost Persuaded

Almost Persuaded - Etta James (埃塔·詹姆絲)

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 sat down at my table

And placed his warm hand on mine now

And I found myself wanting

Longing to kiss him yes I did

For temptation was flowing like wine

And oh I was all almost persuaded

To strip myself apart apart yes

Oh almost nearly persuaded now

To push my

Push my ole conscience right on the side

Then we danced then we danced

He whispered Baby I need you now

He said to me Let me take you away

Ooh I wanna be your man

Than I looked in his eyes

And I saw it yeah I saw it

I saw the reflection of my

My wedding band

Oh I was almost almost

Almost persuaded yes I was

To let a strange lips

Somebody's lips lure me lure me on now

Oh I was almost yeah nearly nearly persuaded

But your your sweet love made me stop

Made me stop and go on
