The One That Got Away

Lyrics

[Intro] Hmm a-he Yeah-eah, yeah-eah [Verse 1] I saw him at the corner store He gave me candy, I came back for more I asked for his name, he said call me J for James He was 6'2 lots of style He had the recipe to make you smile But he got, too popular with the girls So I erased him from my world [Break] Number 2 [Verse 2] The next boy was cute and shy but he never really looked me in the eye Secretive, I was intrigued He was sweet, his name was Pete (Sweet Pete) First time that he took me out He didn't know what to talk about So I took the initiative and told Pete he had to leave [Chorus] So I'm back to square one with Mr. Good For Nothing John Ever since he brought me down, I can't get off the ground It's not like I don't try and I'm pretty easy on the eye But the one I really crave is the one that got away With each boy, it gets worse I'm still stuck on the first Really hate to say, I want the one that got away [Break] Number 3 [Verse 3] He's the star of the football team Can be found in every girl's dream We've been talking for a while You could say that he's on trial But, whenever we're alone His jaw's like a gramophone, 'cause When he goes off the field With him goes his appeal [Chorus] So I'm back to square one with Mr. Good For Nothing John Ever since he brought me down, I can't get off the ground It's not like I don't try and I'm pretty easy on the eye But the one I really crave is the one that got away With each boy, it gets worse I'm still stuck on the first Really hate to say, I want the one that got away [Bridge] Here she goes again, with another boy on her hands Word goes around, real fast in this small town All these rumors like I'm a star Just wanna find someone to give my heart No luck with James, Pete or the football stud None of them can compare (None can compare) None of them can compare To my John [Chorus] It's not like I don't try and I'm pretty easy on the eye But the one I really crave is the one that got away With each boy, it gets worse I'm still stuck on the first Really hate to say, I want the one that got away [Outro] I want the one that got away
