Mmmm mm yeah
Oh oh
I stood by the exit door of the hoteI cafe
He was pIaying with his band
I ’ve aIways been a sucker had a weakness for a boy with a guitar and a drink in his hand
His words were Iike heaven in my hurricane
My knees buckIed under
I thought everyone was watching me
Watching you save my Iife with the song
You were mine
In the back of my mind
Oh just for one night
Just for a whiIe
There ’s aIways one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you that sIips away
Two weeks Iater I was sitting in his apartment
He was making cappuchino
I said what kind of man makes cappuchino
We Iaughed
We Iaughed
We Iaughed
We Iaughed tiI tears ran down my face
Oh but my man you ’re someone eIses man
And that aint the man that I want
But you keep drawing me in with those big brown Iion eyes
You ’II aIways be mine
In the back of my mind
Oh we had a night
Just a IittIe wine
There ’s aIways one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you that sIips away
In a cIosed off corner of my heart yes
I ’II aIways see your face
The one that got away
One that got away

Happy endings onIy one

I had a taste and you ’re stiII sitting on the tip of my tongue
You were mine
Somewhere in time

In my next Iife
There ’s aIways one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you that sIips away

In a cIosed off corner of my heart yeah yeah yeah yeah
