Shelly Peiken - Almost Doesn't Count lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Hook] 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 [Verse 3] 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 And 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 [Hook] [Verse 4] Maybe you'll be sorry. Maybe you'll be cold Maybe you'll come running back babe, from the cruel, cruel world Almost convince 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
