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 cappuchino
I said what kind of man makes cappuchino
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 aint the man that I 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 wine
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

Oh oh yeah
The one that got away
I'm an opportunity and I knock so softly
Sometimes I get loud when I wish everybody'd just
get off me
So many players you'd think I was a ball game
Its every man for themselves, there are no
team mates
This life gets lonely when everybody wants
something
They'll smile up in your face
But they'll get theirs eventually
And I hope I'm there
Surrounded by familiar faces without names
None of them know me or want to share my pain
And they only wish to bask in my light, then fade
away
To win my love, to them a game
To watch me live my life in vain
When all is done and the glitter fades, fades
away
They'll get theirs eventually
And I hope I'm there
I drank your poison coz you told me its wine
Shame on you if you fooled me once
Shame on me if you fooled me twice
I didn't know the price
You'll get yours eventually
So what good am I to you if I can't be broken?
You'll get yours, yes you'll get yours
Eventually
Sometimes I get loud when I wish everybody'd just
get off me
So many players you'd think I was a ball game
Its every man for themselves, there are no
team mates

something
