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 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 want

But you keep drawing me in with those big brown lying eyes

You'll always be mine

In the back of my mind

Oh we had a night

Just for a 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 cliches

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
