Last night all alone in a barroom Met a girl with a drink in her hand She had ruby red lips and coal black hair And eyes that would tempt any man And she came, sat down at my table And as she placed her soft hands in mine Well I found myself wanting to kiss her 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 from here and be your man" And then I've looked in 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 Almost persuaded But your sweet love made me stop and go home
