Almost Doesn't Count

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 turned around
 But everybody knows
 Almost doesn't count
 Almost heard you saying you were finally free
 What was always missing for you
 Baby 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 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 round
 That's the way it goes
 Almost doesn't count
