[Verse 1]
I'll tell you how it's been for me
A life of searching endlessly
Then I found her, and all I knew
Was that I had in her a love so true, yeah
But she had a different plan

[Chorus]
I almost had her
(But she got away) Mmm
Woah yeah, she got away
I almost had her
(But she got away)
Hey, my baby got away, yeah
Ah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Just when things were going strong
She said she was sorry I'd have to make it alone
Do you know how I felt?

[Chorus]
I almost had her
(But she got away)
Oh, yeah
My baby got away
Almost had her
Aah, oh yeah (But she got away)
She got away, got away from me
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I guess that girl didn't wanna, 'cause if she did, she would stay
She got away, ooh

[Verse 2]
Yesterday we met, and instantly
A flame started glowing inside of me
Though she never made me think (Though she never)
She'd ever care for me
She all I'd ever want, she's all I need, yeah

[Bridge]
My baby got away, baby got away, yeah
Ooh, woah yeah
(It keeps churnin', the fire keeps burnin')
I love her, ooh ooh (Doo-doo-doo)
(It keeps churnin', the fire keeps burnin')

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, it's you I'm talking about
Unchain my heart and let it out

[Chorus]
Woohoo
(I almost had her)
Come back, girl
(But she got away)
Oh, hurry, hurry, hurry, baby
(I almost had her)
Ooh ooh ooh
(But she got away)
Oh girl, oh I need you, baby
(I almost had her)
I almost had her
