Almost doesnt count
(shelly peiken/guy roche)
Almost made you love me
Almost made you cry
Almost made you happy, baby
Didnt i, didnt i
You almost had me thinkin
You were turned around
Everybody knows
Almost doesnt count
Almost heard you saying
You were finally free
What was always missing for you, baby
Youd found it in me
But you cant get to heaven
Half off the ground
Everybody knows
Almost doesnt count
I cant keep lovin you
One foot outside the door
I hear a funny hesitation
Of a heart thats never really sure
Cant keep on tryin
If youre 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 to 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 doesnt count
I cant keep lovin you
One foot outside the door
I hear a funny hesitation
Of a heart thats never really sure
Cant keep on tryin
If youre looking for more
Than all that I could give you
Than what you came here for
Maybe youll be sorry
Maybe youll be cold
Maybe youll come runnin back
From the cruel, cruel world
Almost convince me
Youre gonna stick around
But everybody knows
Almost doesnt count
Maybe Ill be here
Maybe Ill see ya round
Thats the way it goes
Almost doesnt count
