Mmm, mmm, yeah, oh, ohI stood by the exit door of the hotel cafe
He was playin' with his band
I've always been a sucker had a weakness for a boy
With a guitar and a drink in his handHis words were like Heaven in my hurricane
My knees buckled under
I thought everyone was watchin' me
Watching you save my life with the songYou were mine
In the back of my mind
Oh, just for one night
Just for a whileThere's always one
That gets away
The one that sneaks up
On you that slips awaySaid, 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 faceOh, 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 lion eyesYou'll always be mine
In the back of my mind
Oh, we had a night
Just a little wineThere's always one
That gets away
The one that sneaks up
On you that slips awayIn a closed off corner of my heart, yes
I'll always see your faceThe 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, ohI'm not a victim of cliches
I don't believe in soul mates
Happy endings only oneOh, and I met you
And all that changed
I had a taste and you're still sittin'
On the tip of my tongueYou were mine
Somewhere in time
I'll look for you first
In my next lifeThere's always one
That gets away
The one that sneaks up
On you that slips away
Slips awayIn a closed off corner of my heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I, I'll always see your faceThe 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
