Almost Doesn't Count

Intro : .. 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 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 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 (Repeat Chorus) Maybe you'll be sorry Maybe you'll be cold Maybe you'll come runnin' back >From the cruel, cruel world Almost convince me You're gonna stick around But everybody knows Almost doesn't count Maybe I'll be here Maybe I'll see ya 'round That's the way it goes Almost doesn't count
