Almost made you love me, almost made you cry
Almost made you happy, baby, didn´t I, didn´t I?
You almost had me thinking 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, 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 loving you one foot outside the door
I hear a funny hesitation of a heart that´s never really sure
Can´t keep on trying if you´re looking for more, than all that
I can 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 every time you built me up, you only let me down

But everybody knows, almost doesn´t count

Hey, hey (everybody knows)
Hey, hey hey
I can´t keep on baby, can´t keep on trying
Everybody knows, almost doesn´t count
I can´t keep on loving you one foot outside the door
I hear a funny hesitation of a heart that´s never really sure
Can´t keep on trying if you´re looking for more, than all that
I can give you than what you came here for

Maybe you´ll be sorry, maybe you´ll be cold
Maybe you´ll come running back, babe, from the cruel, cruel world
Almost convinced me you´re gonna stick around

But everybody know, 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
