[verse one]
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


[chorus]
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

[verse two]

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
That's the way it goes

Almost doesn't count
