last night all alone in the ballroom
I've met the girl with the drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips and coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt anyman
And she came and sat down at my table
And then she placed her soft hand in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine
And I was almost persuaded
To strip myself of my pride
Oo ... was almost persuaded
To push my conscience aside
And we dance and she whispered I need you, take me away from here and be my man
And I looked into her eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band
And I was almost persuaded
To let strange lips lead me on
Oohh... I was almost persuaded
But your sweet love made me stop and go home
