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
