[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Then she came and sat down at my table
And as she placed her soft hands in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For 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 3]
Then we danced and she whispered, "I need you"
"Take me away from here and be my man"
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band

[Chorus]
And I was almost persuaded
To let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded
But your sweet love made me stop and go home
