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 I am the one who got away Doesn't matter what you say You'll regret it till your dying day Cause I'm the one who got away Now she's 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 You won't hang up my picture for all those to see What's 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 I am the one who got away I am the one who got away
