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, 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 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



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 runnin' 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 'round

Almost doesn't count
