ALMOST THERE
SHIRLEY BASSEY
If you're listening now
I hope that I make more sense
'Cause now I'm not quite so young
I'm not quite so foolish in my defense
Pictures that I hid in my room
They now come out
And those places we used to go
I talk about
And now I'm not the girl of your dreams
Well, I took you almost there
I'll be damned if I care
Now if I'm not girl, we were almost there
Looks like I've lost you somewhere
And now I'm not the girl in your life
Well okay, maybe it hurts
And maybe I still feel my lips brush your face
What the hell, I'm not fool enough
To claim that I'm over you as yet
No, oh no
And though I've still got some way to go
Well, lately I'm almost there
I'll be damned if I care
Now that I'm not your girl, we were almost there
Watch me someday
Yeah, somehow I will make it somewhere
Going higher, I'll rise so much higher
And I'll hold my head higher
Almost there, that perfume that you wear
Now that I'm not your girl, we were almost there
Almost there
I hope that I make more sense
'Cause now I'm not quite so young
I'm not quite so foolish in my defense
Pictures that I hid in my room
They now come out
And those places we used to go
I talk about
And now I'm not the girl of your dreams
Well, I took you almost there
I'll be damned if I care
Now if I'm not girl, we were almost there
Looks like I've lost you somewhere
And now I'm not the girl in your life
Well okay, maybe it hurts
And maybe I still feel my lips brush your face
What the hell, I'm not fool enough
To claim that I'm over you as yet
No, oh no
And though I've still got some way to go
Well, lately I'm almost there
I'll be damned if I care
Now that I'm not your girl, we were almost there
Watch me someday
Yeah, somehow I will make it somewhere
Going higher, I'll rise so much higher
And I'll hold my head higher
Almost there, that perfume that you wear
Now that I'm not your girl, we were almost there
Almost there
