The One That Got Away
Mmmm mm yeah
Oh oh
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
There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you that slips away
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 wanna want
But you keep drawing me in with those big brown lion eyes
You'll always be mine
In the back of my mind
Oh we had a night
Just a little while
There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you that slips away
In a closed off corner of my heart yes
I'll always see your face
The one that got away
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
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
There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you that slips away
Slips away
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
