1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ♪ I stood by the exit door at the hotel cafe Was playing with his band I've always been a sucker and 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 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 I ain't the man that I once was 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 Oh, I see your face The one that got away The one that got away Oh, the one that got away Oh, the one that got away Oh, the one that got away Yeah, yeah Oh, oh, oh, oh Yeah, yeah I'm not a victim of cliches I don't believe in soulmates Happy endings are the one Oh, but now I met you and all that changed I had a taste and you're still sitting On the tip of my tongue But 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'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 Oh, the one that got away The one that got away Yeah, yeah Oh, oh, oh, yeah The one that got away
