And eyes that would tempt any man
Then I looked in her eyes and I saw it
For temptation was flowing like wine
To strip myself of my pride
The reflection of my wedding band
To let strange lips lead me on
And I was almost persuaded
Then we danced and she whispered, "I need you
I found myself wanting to kiss her
And I was almost persuaded
Take me away from here and be my man"
Almost persuaded
And as she placed her soft hand in mine
To push my conscience aside
She had ruby red lips and coal black hair
Almost persuaded
Then she came and sat down at my table
