You’re the One (That Got Away) Lyrics by James Maslow

How I Like It

2017

[Verse 1]
Every word I didn't say, I wish you heard me
I thought you knew me
Should I remind you everyday
Just how pretty you look to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I could've took the time
Should've asked you to be mine
Now the moment's far behind
But if I just pretend, do it all over again
I would take you by your hand and I would say
[Chorus]
I was stupid, I was young
I didn't realize what I was giving up
Where was Cupid all along?
I wish that I could tell you how I feel
Cause, baby, you're the one that got away
That got away
Yeah, baby, you're the one
[Verse 2]
You're a masterpiece to me
Beyond your body, beyond your beauty
All those things I didn't see
Until our moments were only memories
[Pre-Chorus]
I could've took the time
Should've asked you to be mine
Now the moment's far behind
But if I just pretend, do it all over again
I would take you by your hand and I would say
[Chorus]
I was stupid, I was young
I didn't realize what I was giving up
Where was Cupid all along?
I wish that I could tell you how I feel
Cause, baby, you're the one that got away
That got away
Yeah, baby, you're the one
[Bridge]
Let's try this again, want to make it right
You got me on my knees if it takes all night
I knew it from the start
I should've held your heart, never let you go
[Chorus]
I was stupid, I was young
I didn't realize who I was giving up
Where was Cupid all along?
I wish that I could tell you how I feel
Cause, baby, you're the one that got away
That got away
Yeah, baby, you're the one
I was stupid, I was young
I didn't realize what I was giving up
Where was Cupid all along?
I wish I could tell you how I feel
Cause, baby, you're the one
[Outro]
Oh, you're the one
Yeah, baby, you're the one that got away, got away
Yeah, baby, you're the one
