he one that got away

Is the boy I adore

No matter what they say

I'll be his ever more

Each day brings some new face

Each one so like another

But no arms can replace

The arms of my true lover



The one, the one that got away

Was my first love and last

Although my lips may stray

My heartbeat's in the past

For no lips can repeal

The thrill his kisses brought me

Those memories bitter sweet

Of happiness it taught me



The one, the one that got away

The one man in my life

The man I hoped would say

Come to me, be my life

But darling come what may

I'll just keep on pretending

That one bright sunny day

I'll hear my lover say

I have come, I'm the one

That couldn't get, get away
