Bon Jovi & Jon Bon Jovi - The One That Got Away lyrics

rate me

(written by: Bon Jovi)

If I, I could be anyone

Could I, I be your only one?

If I, I could be anything

Could I be the secret that you keep

Breath that you breathe

Your dreams while you sleep?

If you, if you could read my mind

Then you, you'd now I crossed that line

I, I'd make you my Valentine

I can't let you go but I know

That this ring is there to remind

Chorus:

So let's re-enact that scene

From what's-his-name's one act play

I'll be your hero

And you'll be the one who got away

Now I'm chasing headlights back home

And you, you're sitting there on your own

When we were sippin' martinis

I started believing I wouldn't be leaving alone

I told you a joke and you laughed

When I asked you to dance

You said there's no band, there's no radio

I got up real slow, started singing real low

When I was melting in your arms I had to let go

Chorus:

So let's re-enact that scene

From what's-his-name's one act play

I'll be your hero

And you'll be the one..

If there was no tomorrow

There were no yesterdays

The stolen moments we've borrowed

We wouldn't let slip away

Chorus:

So let's re-enact that scene

From what's-his-name's one act play

I'll be your hero

So let's re-enact that scene

Until our dying day

I'll be the hero

And you can the one
