Mmmm mm yeah
Oh oh
I stood kwa the exit door of the hotel cafe
He was playing with his band
I've always been a sucker had a weakness for a boy with a guitar, gitaa 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 wewe save my life with the song
wewe were mine
In the back of my mind
Oh just for one night
Just for a while
There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on wewe that slips away
Two weeks later I was sitting in his apartment
He was making cappuchino
I alisema what kind of man makes cappuchino
We laughed
We laughed
We laughed
We laughed til tears ran down my face
Oh but my man you're someone elses man
And that aint the man that I want
But wewe keep drawing me in with those big brown (lyin?) eyes
You'll always be mine
In the back of my mind
Oh we had a night
Just a little wine
There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on wewe that slips away
In a closed off corner of my moyo yes
I'll always see your face
The one that got away
One that got away
The one that got away

Oh the one that got away

Yeah yeah

Oh
I'm not a victim of cliches
I don't believe in soul mates
Happy endings only one
Oh and I met wewe and all that changed
I had a taste and you're still sitting on the tip of my tongue
wewe were mine
Somewhere in time
I'll look for wewe first
In my inayofuata life
There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on wewe that slips away
Slips away
In a closed off corner of my moyo yeah yeah yeah yeah
I, I'll always see your face
The one that got away

No sleep, no sex for wewe from your ex-girlfriend
I was too deep can't let wewe call me just jump in2
At times I would push my feelings aside to let wewe feel
I'm novocaine I'm numb and nothing's real
Like the coldest winter
I am frozen from you
I was weak before now you've made me
So numb I can't feel much for wewe anymore
I gave wewe my all my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb
But the tears were silent inside, wewe see
But the tears were silent inside, wewe see
I laid there quiet
And watched wewe have your way with me
I might have cried
But the tears were silent inside, wewe see
wewe called me names
Made me feel like I was dumb
I didn't feel a thing
And now I'm gone, gone, gone
Like a battered child
I got used to your pain but wewe know it's 'cause
I was weak before now you've made me
So numb I can't feel much for wewe anymore
I gave wewe my all my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb (x4)
I was too deep can't let wewe call me just jump in2
At times I would push my feelings aside to let wewe feel
I'm novocaine I'm numb and nothing's real
Like the coldest winter
I am frozen from you
I was weak before now you've made me
So numb I can't feel much for wewe anymore
I gave wewe my all my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb
But the tears were silent inside, wewe see
But the tears were silent inside, wewe see
I laid there quiet
And watched wewe have your way with me
I might have cried
But the tears were silent inside, wewe see
wewe called me names
Made me feel like I was dumb
I didn't feel a thing
And now I'm gone, gone, gone
Like a battered child
I got used to your pain but wewe know it's 'cause
I was weak before now you've made me
So numb I can't feel much for wewe anymore
I gave wewe my all my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb (x4)
