Almost Lover

I believe it when I see it
Hell, I believe when I dream it
I don't want it when I need it
But I'll take what I can find

I guess I'll know it when I get it
You won't believe me if I said it
Just don't remind me I'll forget it
And it wouldn't take that long

I'll be honest
I wouldn't wanna fall in love with me

'Cause baby I'm an almost lover, undercover
Good for amateur romance
I'm an almost lover, undercover
Just a joke at second glance
Please get rid of me
'Cause you'll be sick of me
You can wear the pants
Maybe I'm an almost lover
But at least you took the chance

I'm not saying that its easy
Girls just don't stand in line to please me
I don't think that you'll believe me
That it burns me just as bad
Now I want it more than ever
But I just can't say that I've been clever
And I get discouraged 'cause "whatever"
Is all they seem to say

There's no points for trying
Well I'd be better off lying
And you'll say nice to know you but I gotta go
You gotta let me go now
But I want it so bad
You'll say you want what you can't have
