The One That Got Away

You got your head in your supperAnd the eyes of your mother, babyLocked on youEverybody wants a piece of you, oh yeahAnd your phone keeps ringingCause your cousin's singing at the local barEverybody wants to be a starJust like you areYou kept your face in the gutter for yearsKept your eyes on the roadYou always felt you were meant for meBaby now you knowEverybody wants a glimpse of the one that got awayEverybody wants to see youAnd everybody wants to be you tooIt's funny how they put you downBut now they think you're alrightAnd everybody loves you now thatYou're the one that got away (the one that got away)See you were raised in the townWhere the kids hang around the pizza hut parking lotEverybody talks a lot, no one likes to do, noAnd all the cub scout leaders at the local theatersSaid you couldn't sing a song that wellYou told 'em all to go to hell and went out on your ownYou got a headshot picture toSell yourself to the worldYou tucked your scars up under your dressLike an american girlEverybody wants a glimpse of the one that got awayEverybody wants to see youAnd everybody wants to be you tooIt's funny how they put you downBut now they think you're alrightAnd everybody loves you tonightYou're the one that got away, yeahEverybody wants a glimpse of the one that got awayEverybody wants to see you and everybody wants to be you tooIt's funny how they put you downBut now they think you're alrightAnd everybody loves you now thatYou're the one that got awayEverybody wants a glimpse of the one that got awayEverybody wants to see youAnd everybody wants to be you tooIt's funny how they put you downBut now they think you're alrightAnd everybody loves you now thatYou're the one that got away (the one that got away)
