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 thinking

You were turned around

But everybody knows

Almost doesn't count

Almost heard you saying

You were finally free

What was always missing for you

Babe, you'd 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 loving you

One foot outside the door

I hear a funny hesitation

Of a heart that's never really sure

Can't keep on trying

If you're looking for more

Than all that I could give you

Than what you came here for

Gonna find somebody

Not afraid to let go

Want a no-doubt-be-there kind of girl

You came real close

But everytime you built me up

You only let me down

And everybody knows

Almost doesn't count

I can't keep loving you

One foot outside the door

I hear a funny hesitation

Of a heart that's never really sure

Can't keep on trying

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 around

That's the way it goes

Almost doesn't count
