[Verse 1: John Paul White]
Last night all alone in a barroom
I 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: John Paul White]
And she came and 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

[Chorus 1: Both]
And I was almost persuaded
To strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded
To push my conscience aside

[Verse 3: Lera Lynn]
Then we danced and he whispered, "I need you
"Let me take you away from here and be your man"
And then I looked in his eyes and I saw it:
The reflection of my wedding band

[Chorus 2: Both]
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
