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
