Recorded by Tammy Wynette
Words and music by Billy Sherrill and Glenn Sutton
C C7 F
Last night, all a- lone in a bar- room
C G
Met a man with a drink in his hand
C7 F
He had baby-blue eyes, coal black hair
C G C G
And a smile that a girl under- stands. ...
C C7 F
Then he came and sat down at my table
C G
And as he placed his hand over mine
C C7 F
I found myself wanting to kiss him
C G C G7
For temp- tation was flowing like wine.
C C7 F
And I was al- per- suaded
C G7
To strip myself of my pride
C C7 F
Al- most per- suaded
C G7 C A7
To push my conscience a- side. ...
CHANGE TO D:
D D7 G
Then we danced and he whispered, "I need you!
D A
Let me take you away, and be your man."
D D7 G
Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it
D A7 D A7
The re- flection of my wedding band.
D D7 G
And I was al- most per- suaded
D A
To let strange lips lead me on
D D7 G
al- most per- suaded,
D A7 G D
But your sweet love made me stop and go home.
