Almost Persuaded Lyrics - Tell Mama: The Complete Muscle Shoals Sessions - Etta James

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
