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
That's the way it goes 
Almost doesn't count
