One That Got Away Lyrics by Brownsville Station

Motor City Connection

0

Every man who goes fishin' has a story to tell
I ain't no different, I got one as well
The line I cast just didn't play
You were the one that got away
Married woman, please stay away
Married woman, hear what I say
Married woman, until my dying day
You'll be the one that got away
They can have their stories about the fish in the sea
You were the only one that was meant for me
I'm walkin' in circles, not hard to explain
I'll catch a cold if I cry in the rain
Married woman, please stay away
Married woman, hеar what I say
Married woman, until my dying day
You'll be the onе that got away
Every time I see you, it's the same old pain
But you're happy now, darlin', and you've made that so plain
Y'know, I swim too well to drown in misery
So I'll have another drink to my recovery
Married woman, please stay away
Married woman, better hear what I say
Married woman, until my dyin' day
You'll be the one that got away
The one that got away
