Ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Almost made ya love me
Almost made ya cry
Almost made ya happy, babe
Didn't I, didn't I

You almost had me thinkin'
You were turned around
But everybody knows
Almost doesn't count

Almost heard ya sayin'
You were finally free
What was always missin' for ya, babe
You 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 lookin' for more
Than all that I could give you
Than what ya 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 every time you build me up
You only let me down
But everybody knows
Almost doesn't count

Oh oh, ooh
Everybody knows
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Can't keep on, baby
Can't keep on tryin'
Everybody knows
Almost doesn't count

I can't keep on
Can't keep on lovin' you
One foot outside the door
I hear a funny hesitation of a heart
That's never, never really sure

Can't keep on tryin'
If you're lookin' for more
Than all that I can give you
Than what ya came here for

Maybe you'll be sorry
Maybe you'll be cold
Maybe you'll come runnin' back, babe
From the cruel, cruel world

Almost convinced me
You're gonna stick around
But everybody knows
Almost doesn't count

So maybe I'll be here
Maybe I'll see you around
That's the way it goes
Almost doesn't count
