Love's like fishing in the ocean 

Starve for days to catch a break 

Waiting in that boat alone 

Fish know something you don't 

They told me there aren't many of us down here 

All the good ones have been hooked 

But I threw back the finest one 

Now I'm the one who's been cooked 



He got away, he got away 

It's too late my baby's gone 

He got away, he got away 

How'd I blow it, now I know that he's the one 

But i took too long 



Well everybody's got a notion 

Of how the story's meant to be 

But I got blinded by the stars 

And missed the part meant for me 

Yes I got all swept up with emotion 

But it's too hot for me to face 

Might of had a better plan 

If I wasn't caught up in the chase 



He got away, he got away 

It's too late my baby's gone 

He got away, he got away 

How'd I blow it, now I know that he's the one 

But I took too long 



Baby, he called me baby 

When we were planning our registry 

In tennis doubles and in couple's therapy 

I'd make a special kind of wish list for Christmas 

In our Casa Suburbia 

And the neighbors would say that they can't possibly go 

To bed and read 



He got away, he got away 

It's too late my baby's gone 

He got away, he got away 

I could kick myself, 'cuz yeah, I was horribly wrong 

He got away, he got away 

It's too late my baby's gone 

He got away, he got away 

How'd I blow it, now I know that he's the one 

But I took too long 



Don't rub it in 

Don't rub it in
