Lyrics Almost Persuaded - Louis Armstrong
Last
night,
all
alone
in
the
ballroom
Met
the
girl
with
a
drink
in
her
hand
She
had
ruby
red
lips,
coal
black
hair
And
eyes
that
would
tempt
any
man
Then
she
came
and
sat
down
at
my
table
And
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,
yes
To
strip
myself
of
my
pride
I-I,
I
was
almost
persuaded
To
push
my
conscience
aside
Then
we
danced
and
she
whispered,
"I
need
you
Take
me
away
from
here
and
be
my
man"
Then
I
looked
into
her
eyes
and
I
saw
it
Yes,
the
reflection
of
my
wedding
band
And
I
was
almost
persuaded
To
let
strange
lips
lead
me
on
Yes,
I
was
almost
persuaded
But
your
sweet
love
made
me
stop
and
go
And
go
Yeah,
what
a
chick,
what
a
chick
Oh,
boy
I'll
tell
you
Its
strange
chops
Oh,
I
like
to
kiss
them
strange
chops
Oh,
they
locked
me
up
Crown
precious
Oh,
come
here,
baby,
and
bust
me
one
I'm
persuaded
Yeah,
I'm
easily
persuaded,
baby
Runnin'
timid
and
bust
me
one
Somebody
better
run
Oh,
those
lips
Yes,
those
lips
No,
those
nice
fine
juicy
set
of
lips
stare
