Almost made you love me, almost made you cry
Almost made you happy, babe 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, baby 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 on 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 me somebody not afraid to let go
Want a no doubt be there kind of man you came real close
But everytime you built me up you only let me down
And everybody knows, almost doesn't count
Maybe you'll be sorry, maybe you'll be cold
Maybe you'll come running back, baby
From the cruel cruel world
Almost convince me you're gonna stick around
But everybody knows, almost doesn't count
So maybe I'll be here
Maybe I'll see ya around
That's the way it goes
Almost doesn't count
