Almost persuaded
Etta jamesI met a man with a drink in his hand
He had soft brown eyes and coal black hair
And a smile a girl could understand
Then he came and sat down at my table
And placed his warm hand on mine, now
And I found myself wanting, longing to kiss him, yes I did
For temptation was flowing like wine
And oh I was all, almost persuaded
To strip myself apart, apart, yes
Oh almost, nearly persuaded now
To push my, push my ole conscience right on the side
Then we danced, then we danced, he whispered, "Baby, I need you now"
He said to me, "Let me take you away, ooh I wanna be your man"
Than I looked in his eyes and I saw it, yeah I saw it
I saw the reflection of my, my wedding band
Oh I was almost, almost, almost persuaded, yes I was
To let a strange lips, somebody's lips lure me, lure me on, now
Oh I was almost, yeah nearly, nearly persuaded
But your, your sweet love made me stop, made me stop and go on
Eu conheci um homem com uma bebida na mão
ele tinha olhos castanhos e cabelo cor de carvão
E um sorriso que uma garota consegue entender
Então ele veio e se sentou à minha mesa
E colocou sua mão quente sobre a minha
e então me vi querendo beijá-lo, e beijei.
A vontade estava fluindo como o vinho
E, oh, eu estava quase convencida
a despir-me, entregar-me, sim
Oh, quase, quase convenceu agora
Deixar a minha consciência de lado
Dançamos, ele sussurrou,"Baby, preciso de você agora"
Ele me disse: "Deixe-me levá-la daqui, ooh Eu quero ser seu homem"
Que olhei em seus olhos e vi, sim, eu vi
Vi o reflexo da minha, minha aliança de casamento
Oh, estava quase, quase, quase convencida, sim
Convencida a deixar os lábios de um estranho os lábios de outro alguém me seduzirem
Oh, eu estava quase, sim quase, quase convencida
Mas a seu, seu doce amor me fez parar, me fez parar e continuar.
