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 O... 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 wanna 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 O... we had a night Just a little while There's always one that gets away The one that sneaks up on you than slips away In a closed off corner of my heart 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 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 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
