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 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 till 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 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, 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 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
