You were warm each time I held you you always looked so neat You were all the things a woman oughta be You were there when you were needed you never once complained You came awful close to loving me You would never raise a question about anything I'd do I'd tell you things you never doubted me I don't know when you stopped caring now there's nothing left at all You came awful close to loving me Your love was what I needed most of all That's the only thing you couldn't give to me I hope you find someone to love you and he's the kind of man you need Cause you came awful close to loving me Yes you came awful close to loving me
