"One That Got Away" lyrics

One That Got Away

One that got away
Came and tracked me down
What she had in mind
One for finer times
She always used to move me that way
She said
What I'm looking to do
Is get my hands on you
And I'd be living a lie
To say that I
Have the feeling too

That's why I'm sighing in the night
Her dancing eyes laughing so bright
And if she gets away from me again
I'll miss her till the end
If I'm right
I should go home tonight

Living in a lonesome town
She married late and settled down
I raised a family
Found security
We loved what we call our own

I used to call her mine
We were so young and so fine
But do I want to stop
Two life-long broken hearts
And come together one last time

That's why I'm sighing in the night
Her dancing eyes laughing so bright
And if she gets away from me again
I'll miss her till the end
If I'm right
I should go home tonight

Hold you tonight
And I throw my life away
Kids and a wife
For the touch of yesterday

That's why I'm sighing in the night
Her dancing eyes laughing so bright
And if she gets away from me again
I'll miss her till the end
If I'm right
I should go home tonight
I should go home tonight
I should go home tonight yeah
I should go home tonight
