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 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 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 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.

That's the way it goes

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 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
