Get Away Lyrics by Avant

My Thoughts

2000

[Verse 1]
I'm back again, in this town, to find a girl that I used to know
I bumped into a friend of mine and she told me where to go
She said "go right down to 56th street
Make a left at the corner store
There will be a house on the alley way"
I hope she didn't move away
I pray she's still around
But somebody came to the door that I didn't know
And I knew I had to let her go
Is it over? All over?
I let a good girl get away

[Chorus]
How could I ever let her get away
Today is not a happy day
So many words that I had to say
Baby I miss you and I need your love
How could I ever let her get away
Today is not a happy day
It could have been our anniversary
I'll do anything to have you right here in my arms

[Verse 2]
Remember when we talked about
All the things that we planned to do
Our wedding day, a house in the valley
And maybe a kid two
We could have had it all, but somehow it all fell apart
I agree to take the blame, see I'm feeling so ashamed
I never should have lied
I'll give anything to see your pretty face again
To hold you, to be with you, heaven give me one more chance

[Chorus]
How could I ever let her get away
Today is not a happy day
So many words that I had to say
Baby I miss you and I need your love
How could I ever let her get away
Today is not a happy day
It could have been our anniversary
I'll do anything to have you right here in my arms

[Bridge]
If only it were possible for me to turn back the hands of time
I'd do anything, I'll give anything just to make her mine
I can't live without your lovin' baby, I can't go on another day
Where did she go? I gotta know
I let a good girl get away, get away, get away

[Chorus]
How could I ever let her get away
Today is not a happy day
So many words that I had to say
Baby I miss you and I need your love
How could I ever let her get away
Today is not a happy day
It could have been our anniversary
I'll do anything to have you right here in my arms
