Almost Doesn’t Count - Intellectual

[Intro]

Ah, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Almost made you love me, almost made you cry

Almost made you 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 you sayin' 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 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 every time you built me up, you only let me down

But everybody knows (Everybody knows)

Almost doesn't count (Almost doesn't count)

Hey (Oh, oh)

Hey (Ooh, whoa, everybody knows)

Ah, hey (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Hey

Hey (I can't keep on, baby)

Hey (Can't keep on tryin')

Everybody knows (Everybody knows)

Almost doesn't count (I can't keep on)

I can't keep on lovin' you one foot outside the door (Woo-woo, I hear a)

I hear a funny hesitation of a heart that's never really sure (Ooh, never really sure)

Can't keep on tryin' if you're looking for more (No, no)

Than all that I could give you, than what you came here for (Ooh, babe)

Maybe you'll be sorry, and 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 (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
