Leave her alone

She's like a bed of roses

And a heart of stone

You'll never know

Until the stars are gone and the money's blown

No matter what you say or do

When the ship goes down

She's gone too



She was the one that got away

She was the one true thing

That you couldn't save

And like a car you couldn't drive

Daddy's little girl who never waved goodbye

Hey, the one that got a...



She'll get you high

But there ain't no drug that'll keep this alive

And when she smiles, you see a smile

But don't be fooled

She can only see for miles

No matter what you say or do

When the ship goes down

She's gone too



She was the one that got away

She was the one true thing

That you couldn't save

And like a scar you couldn't hide

Daddy's little girl never waved goodbye

Hey, the one that got away



(Let her go, let her flow, let her go)



No matter what you say or do

When the star is gone

Hey...



(Let her go, let her flow, let her go, let her flow, let her go)



She'll be the one that got away

She'll be the one true thing that you couldn't save

And like a car you couldn't drive

Daddy's little girl who never waved goodbye

Hey...

The one that got away

The one that got away
