Almost Doesn
Brandy Lyrics
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 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 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) ohh
(Hey) ooh, everybody knows
(Hey) yeah, yeah, yeah
(Hey-yeah)
(Hey) can't keep on, baby
(Hey) can't keep on trying
Everybody knows (everybody knows)
Almost doesn't count
(I can't keep on)
I can't keep on loving (woo-woo) you
One foot outside the door
(I) I hear a funny hesitation (ooh)
Of a heart that's never (never) really sure
Can't keep on trying (no no)
If you're looking for more
Than all that I could 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 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
Almost made you love me
Almost made you cry
Almost made you happy, babe
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 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) ohh
(Hey) ooh, everybody knows
(Hey) yeah, yeah, yeah
(Hey-yeah)
(Hey) can't keep on, baby
(Hey) can't keep on trying
Everybody knows (everybody knows)
Almost doesn't count
(I can't keep on)
I can't keep on loving (woo-woo) you
One foot outside the door
(I) I hear a funny hesitation (ooh)

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 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
