Mmmm mm yeah
Oh oh
I stood by the exit door of the hotel cafe
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 a 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 then 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 elses man
And that ain't the man that I wanna want
But you keep drawing me in with those big brown lyin' 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 then 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 cliches
I don't believe in soul mates
Happy endings or the 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 then 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
