Chorus/hook... some say it has one, some say it does not...

Legendary but it has a hook/chorus
what is it?
i feel like it has a "tag" before a hook...
a hook is usually repetitive
nothing repeats in the song
Almost made you love me
Almost made you cry
Almost made you happy, baby
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, baby
You'd 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 everytime you built me up
You only let me down
And everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
Maybe you'll be sorry
Maybe you'll be cold
Maybe you'll come running back, baby
From the cruel cruel world
Almost convince me
You're gonna stick around
But everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
So maybe I'll be here
Maybe I'll see ya around
That's the way it goes
Almost doesn't count
So what?s
cant keep on loving you one foot outside the door ....etc ?
"But everybody knows, almost doesn't count" appears twice... that's true...
the rest of it is different

A hook to me is something that repeats
Verse
Hook
Verse
Same Hook
Bridge
Same Hook

This is actually a fact. I forgot who spoke on this but there is NO hook
There?s an Aaliyah song that is similar but i can?t remember

it repeats and has a different flow from the other parts, so i have to take it as the hook

Let me watch this, I always had an issue with that. Usually when someone is an angel in disguise, they bring good to your life. But this girl hurt the guy.
Angel in disguise she was
But somehow you fell for her

?Angel In Disguise? he falls for her thinking she was an angle which eventually turns out to be a disguise. Makes sense to me

Yeah. B-). Mo's Angel of Mine, too.
I looked it up. ADC has no chorus. Only a refrain where it keeps saying almost doesn't count at the end of the verse. :-)
Refrain
In the AABA, or AAA structures, the refrain is the line that draws all the attention in your verses. It?s usually at the beginning or end of each verse and is often the title of the song.

GODlli & The Pips - Dear Lie
you have to explain some, sis. stan out.
:stressed:
Steady Ground - just the overall mood of the song, its so somber but so beautiful at the same time. its very poetic
Those Were The Days - the epitome of breezy. it so effortlessly makes you think of summer and your childhood . I flashback to southside queens every time I listen.
Always - GODni's sweetest song. The way the vocals come in for the b-section. I wasn't shocked once I ultimately found out that GHan had something to do with it. And for it to be at the end of the album is just :stressed:
Halo - This is what I'd call an EVIL knock. It has such a menacingly aggressive undertone to it.
Dear Lie - I didnt really appreciate this song when I was younger. For the most part I was like ballad. yawn! skip. but now .... the instrumentation, the meaning ....
And honestly I think GODlli brought the song to life for me.
I'd never seen the video until a couple years ago. She really captured the essence
