It Got Away |
| Well, the saddest thing I’ve ever heard |
| Was just a common little word, «Goodbye» |
| But it’s better far than holdin' on |
| To somethin' that we know is gone on by |
| Well now, don’t it kinda make you sad |
| When you watch a good love go bad |
| Right before your eyes? |
| What a cruel surprise |
| When you lose a good thing |
| We had it, but it got away |
| Talkin' 'bout the love that we knew yesterday |
| The world was ours |
| Sunshine and flowers |
| But now it’s goin', goin', goin', gone |
| It got away |
| You know there’s nothin' I could say or do |
| Would really mean a thing to you anymore |
| So what’s the use of beggin' you to stay |
| I know that you would only say «What for»? |
| Well, now, don’t it just break your heart |
| When you see a good love fall apart |
| Right before your eyes? |
| Mm-mm, what a cruel surprise |
| When you lose a good thing |
| We had it, but it got away |
| Talkin' 'bout the love that we knew yesterday |
| The world was ours |
| Sunshine and flowers |
| But now it’s goin', goin', goin', gone |
| It got away |
| Darlin', we had it |
| But it got away |
| I’m talkin' 'bout the love we knew yesterday |
| The world was ours |
| Sunshine and flowers |
| But now it’s goin', goin', goin', gone |
| It got away |
