[00:01.04]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
