Barry Manilow - The One That Got Away lyrics

rate me

So you have finally made up your mind

take one last look at who you're leaving behind

we lost the ending we were too late

but we took time enough to devastate

when people never say things

they lead themselves astray

CHORUS:

oh oh oh

The one that got away

gave me everything

I never had

oh oh

the one that got away

gave me everything I never

I had no problems you had no doubts

we were the ones they used to talk about

we saw no windows we had no door

I used to wonder what the shouting's for

when people never say things

they watch their love decay

REPEAT CHORUS

When loves take it too far

they bow their heads and say

REPEAT CHORUS

One that got away (repeat 3x)

(fade out)
