THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

I stood by the exit door in the hotel cafe
He was playin' 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 awhile

There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you then slips away

Two weeks later I was sittin' in his apartment
He was makin' cappuccino
I said "what kind of man makes cappuccino?"
We laughed, we laughed, we laughed, we laughed
Till tears ran down my face

But my man you're someone else's man
And that ain't the man that I want
But you keep drawin' me in with those big brown lyin' eyes

But 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
The one that got away
The one that got away
The one that got away
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 soulmates
Happy endings or the one
Oh but then 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
In a closed off corner of my heart, yeah
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
The one that got away
