The One That Got Away
Katy Perry


Summer after high school
When we first met

We make out in your Mustang
To Radiohead

And on my eighteenth birthday
We got matching tattoos

Used to steal your parents' liquor
And climb to the roof

Talk about our future
Like we had a clue

Never planned that one day

I'd be - losing you

In another life..

I would be your girl..

We keep all our promises
Be us... against the world

In another life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say
You were - the one.. that got.. away

The one that got away

I was June and you were
My Johnny Cash
Never one without the other
We made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you
I put those records on

Ooh

Someone said you had your
Tattoo removed

Saw you downtown
Singing the Blues

It's time to face the music
I'm no longer your muse
But in another life

I would be your girl..

We keep all our promises
Be us against the world..

In another life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say
You were - the one.. that got.. away

The one that got away

The o-o-o-o-o-one

The o-o-o-o-o-one

The o-o-o-o-o-one

The one that got away

All this money
Can't buy me a time machine

(Nooooo)

Can't replace you
With a million rings
(Nooooo)

I shoulda told you
What you meant to me

(Woooooow)

'Cause now I pay the price

In another life

I would be your girl

We keep all our promises
Be us against the world

In another life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say
You were - the one.. that got.. away

The one that got... away

The o-o-o-o-o-one

The o-o-o-o-o-one

The o-o-o-o-o-one

In another life..

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say
You were - the one.. that got.. away

The one that got away
