Mmmm mm yeah
Oh oh
I stood kwa the exit door of the hotel café
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 cappuccino
I alisema what kind of man makes cappuccino
We laughed
We laughed
We laughed
We laughed 'til tears ran down my face
Oh but my man you're someone else's man
And that ain't the man that I want
But wewe keep drawing me in with those big brown lying eyes
You'll always be mine
In the back of my mind
Oh we had a night
Just a little while
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
The one that got away
Oh the one that got away
The one that got away
Oh the one that got away
The one that got away
Oh the one that got away
Yeah yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Yeah yeah
Oh
I'm not a victim of clichés
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
The one that got away
The one that got away

Oh oh yeah
The one that got away
I'm an opportunity and I knock so softly
Sometimes I get loud when I wish everybody'd just
get off me
So many players you'd think I was a ball game
Its every man for themselves, there are no
team mates
This life gets lonely when everybody wants
something
They'll smile up in your face
But they'll get theirs eventually
And I hope I'm there
Surrounded kwa familiar faces without names
None of them know me au want to share my pain
And they only wish to bask in my light, then fade
away
To win my love, to them a game
To watch me live my life in vain
When all is done and the glitter fades, fades
away
They'll get theirs eventually
And I hope I'm there
I drank your poison coz wewe told me its wine
Shame on wewe if wewe fooled me once
Shame on me if wewe fooled me twice
I didn't know the price
You'll get yours eventually
So what good am I to wewe if I can't be broken?
You'll get yours, yes you'll get yours
Eventually
Sometimes I get loud when I wish everybody'd just
get off me
So many players you'd think I was a ball game
Its every man for themselves, there are no
team mates

something
