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 lion 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
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
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 The one that got away
