The night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder
And suddenly you're older
And all because of a gal
That got away
 
No more her eager call
The writing's on the wall
The dreams you dreamed
Have all gone astray
 
The girl that won you
Has gone off and undone you
That great beginning
Has seen it's final inning
Don't know what happened
It's all a crazy game...
 
No more that all time thrill
You've been through the mill
And never a new love
Will be the same
 
Good riddance, goodbye
Every trick of hers you're on to...
But fools will be fools
And where's she gone to...
 
The road gets rough-a
It's lonlier and tough-a
With hope you burn up
Tomorrow she may turn up
There's no let up
The live long night and day...
 
Evah since the world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one girl guy
Lookin' for the girl that got away
 
The road gets rough-a
It's lonelier and tough-a
With hope you burn up
Tomorrow she may turn up
There's no let up
The live long night and day...
 
Evah since, since the world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one girl guy...
One girl guy...
One girl guy...lookin' for...
The gal that got away
