Almost Doesn't Count

Almost made you love me

Almost made you cry

Almost made you happy, baby

Didn't I, didn't I?

You almost had me thinkin'

You turned around

But everybody knows

Almost doesn't count

Almost heard you saying you were finally free

What was always missing for you

Baby found it in me

But you can't get to heaven half off the ground

Everybody knows

Almost doesn't count

I can't keep lovin' you one foot outside the door

I hear a funny hesitation of a heart that's never really sure

Can't keep on tryin' if you're looking for more

Than all that I could give you

Than what you came here for

Gotta find somebody

Not afraid to let go

Want a 'no doubt, be there' kind of girl

You came real close

But every time you built me up

You only let me down

And everybody knows

Almost doesn't count

I can't keep lovin' you one foot outside the door

I hear a funny hesitation of a heart that's never really sure

Can't keep on tryin' if you're looking for more

Than all that I could give you

Than what you came here for

Maybe you'll be sorry

Maybe you'll be cold

Maybe you'll come running back from the cruel, cruel world

You almost convinced me

You're gonna stick around

But everybody knows

Almost doesn't count

Maybe I'll be here

Maybe I'll see you round

That's the way it goes

Almost doesn't count
