Almost Persuaded - Etta James |
| [00:12.59] |
Last night, all alone at a party |
| [00:18.78] |
|
| [00:21.64] |
I met a man with a drink in his hand |
| [00:28.58] |
|
| [00:30.13] |
He had soft brown eyes and coal black hair |
| [00:37.74] |
|
| [00:39.87] |
And a smile a girl could understand |
| [00:45.54] |
|
| [00:48.79] |
Then he came and sat down at my table |
| [00:54.91] |
|
| [00:58.66] |
And placed his warm hand on mine, now |
| [01:05.20] |
|
| [01:07.32] |
And I found myself wanting, longing to kiss him, |
| [01:12.82] |
yes I did |
| [01:13.88] |
|
| [01:16.12] |
For temptation was flowing like wine |
| [01:22.64] |
|
| [01:23.90] |
oh I was all, almost persuaded |
| [01:33.57] |
|
| [01:35.31] |
To strip myself apart, apart, yes |
| [01:42.18] |
|
| [01:43.56] |
Oh almost, nearly persuaded now |
| [01:51.15] |
|
| [01:53.52] |
To push my, push my ole conscience right on the side |
| [01:58.95] |
|
| [02:02.45] |
Then we danced, then we danced, |
| [02:05.38] |
he whispered, "Baby, I need you now" |
| [02:08.76] |
|
| [02:11.08] |
He said to me, "Let me take you away, |
| [02:14.16] |
|
| [02:14.90] |
ooh I wanna be your man" |
| [02:18.16] |
|
| [02:21.47] |
Than I looked in his eyes and I saw it, yeah I saw it |
| [02:28.56] |
|
| [02:29.80] |
I saw the reflection of my, my wedding band |
| [02:36.36] |
|
| [02:37.11] |
Oh I was almost, almost, almost persuaded, yes I was |
| [02:46.25] |
|
| [02:49.78] |
To let a strange lips, somebody's lips lure me, |
| [02:54.59] |
lure me on, now |
| [02:56.24] |
|
| [02:57.48] |
Oh I was almost, yeah nearly, nearly persuaded |
| [03:04.54] |
|
| [03:07.27] |
But your, your sweet love made me stop, |
| [03:10.96] |
made me stop and go on |
