The One That Got Away
Mm mm yeah
Oh oh
[Verse 1]
I stood by the exit door of the hotel café
He was playing with his band
I've always been a sucker
Had a weakness for a boy
With a guitar and a drink in his hand
His words were like heaven in my hurricane
My knees buckled under
I thought everyone was watching me
Watching you save my life with the song
You were mine
In the back of my mind
Oh, just for one night
Just for a while
[Chorus]
There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you then slips away
[Verse 2]
Two weeks later I was sitting in his apartment
He was making cappuccino
I said what kind of man makes cappuccino?
We laughed
We laughed
We laughed
We laughed 'til tears ran down my face
Oh, but my man you're someone else's man
And that ain't the man that I want
But you keep drawing me in
With those big brown lyin' eyes
But you'll always be mine
In the back of my mind
Oh, we had a night
Just a little while
[Chorus]
There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you then slips away
[Bridge]
In a closed off corner of my heart, yes
I'll always see your face
The one that got away
(The one that got away)
The one that got away
(The one that got away)
Oh, the one that got away
(The one that got away)
Oh, the one that got away
(The one that got away)
Oh, the one that got away
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Oh
[Verse 3]
I'm not a victim of clichés
I don't believe in soul mates
Happy endings only one
Oh and I met you and all that changed
I had a taste and you're still
Sitting on the tip of my tongue
You were mine
Somewhere in time
I'll look for you first
In my next life
[Chorus]
There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you then slips away
Slips away
[Bridge]
In a closed off corner of my heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I-I'll always see your face
The one that got away
(The one that got away)
The one that got away
(The one that got away)
Oh, the one that got away
(The one that got away)
Oh, the one that got away
(The one that got away)
The one that got away
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
The one that got away
