Lyrics

[Verse 1: Joy Williams with John Paul White] I never meant to get us in this deep I never meant for this to mean a thing Oh, I wish you were the one Wish you were the one that got away I got caught up by the chase And you got high on every little game I wish you were the one Wish you were the one that got away [Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White] Oh, if I could go back in time When you only held me in my mind Just a longing gone without a trace Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face I wish you were the one Wish you were the one that got away [Verse 2: Joy Williams & John Paul White] I miss the way you wanted me When I was staying just out of your reach Begging for the slightest touch Ooh, you couldn't get enough, mm [Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White] Oh, if I could go back in time When you only held me in my mind Oh, just a longing gone without a trace Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face I wish you were the one that Wish you were the one that got away [Bridge: Joy Williams] Got away from me Got away from me Before anybody has to bleed [Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White] Oh, if I could go back in time When you only held me in my mind Just a longing gone without a trace Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face I wish you were the one I wish you were the one Oh, I wish you were the one I wish you were the one that got away
