The One That Got Away |
| There were two old middle aged men |
| And they were sitting in the corner bar |
| They were lying about what |
| Wonderful lovers they are |
| Bending each other’s ear |
| They were bending their elbows too |
| And they were holding their arms apart |
| Just the way fishermen do, singing |
| You should have seen the one that got away |
| And you should have seen the one that got away |
| There were two old middle aged girls |
| They were sitting in the beauty salon |
| Waiting for their nails to dry |
| They were putting each other on |
| They were trading the recipes |
| And all of the ways to save |
| One hundred and one night stands |
| With a brand new permanent wave, they were singing |
| You should have seen the one that got away |
| Oh, you should have seen the one that got away |
| Hindsight makes the heart grow fonder |
| That’s what it costs |
| When you run around saying I love you |
| With your fingers crossed |
| And it’s too late to go back now |
| OH that’s just about as good as it gets |
| For rock’n roll Romeos and their jukebox Juliets |
| And you can see them out on the street |
| Tryin' to figure out what it all means |
| When they try to make their lives complete |
| In the safety of their dreams |
| By putting their arms around the one that got away |
| And you should have seen the one that got away |
| Oh you should have seen the one that got away |
| And you should have seen the one that got away |
