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 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 runnin' back from the cruel, cruel world

You almost convince 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
