Now stand right over there but don't talk to loud I would hold your hand don't want to stand out in a crowd I would buy you flowers but they'll die anyway but I'll cover with butter just to get you to stay Chorus I am the one who got away doesn't what you say you'll regret it till you dying day cause I am the one who got away Now shes just a friend and it don't mean a thing If it didn't affect my work then I would wear my ring Baby you know I love you and I'll always be true But a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do Chorus You won't hang up my picture for all those to see Whats the matter baby you embarrassed of me Cause I am the toughest little cookie that you ever gonna see And you'll be crying like a baby when you can't find me Chorus X2 I am the one who got away I am the one who got away
