Origineel
[Intro]
Mmm, yeah
Oh, oh
[Verse 1]
I stood by the exit door of the hotel café
He was playing with his band
I’ve always been a sucker
Had a weakness for a boy with a guitar and a drink in his hand
His words were like heaven in my hurricane
My knees buckled under
I thought everyone was watching me
Watching you save my life with the song
[Pre-Chorus]
You were mine
In the back of my mind
Oh, just for one night
Just for a while
[Chorus]
There’s always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you then slips away
[Verse 2]
Two weeks later I was sitting in his apartment
He was making cappuccino
I said, “What kind of man makes cappuccino?”
We laughed
We laughed
We laughed
We laughed ’til tears ran down my face
Oh, but my man, you’re someone else’s man
And that ain’t the man that I want
But you keep drawing me in
With those big brown lyin’ eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
But you’ll always be mine
In the back of my mind
Oh, we had a night
Just a little while
[Chorus]
There’s always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you then slips away
[Bridge]
In a closed off corner of my heart, yes
I’ll always see your face
The one that got away (The one that got away)
The one that got away (The one that got away)
Oh, the one that got away (The one that got away)
Oh, the one that got away (The one that got away)
Oh, the one that got away
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Oh
[Verse 3]
I’m not a victim of clichés
I don’t believe in soul mates
Happy endings only one
Oh and I met you and all that changed
I had a taste and you’re still
Sitting on the tip of my tongue
[Pre-Chorus]
You were mine
Somewhere in time
I’ll look for you first
In my next life
[Chorus]
There’s always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you then slips away
Slips away
[Bridge]
In a closed off corner of my heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I-I’ll always see your face
The one that got away (The one that got away)
The one that got away (The one that got away)
Oh, the one that got away (The one that got away)
Oh, the one that got away (The one that got away)
The one that got away
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
The one that got away
Vertaling
[Intro]
Mmm, yeah
Oh, oh
[Verse 1]
Ik stond bij de uitgang van het hotelcafé
Hij was aan het spelen met zijn band
Ik ben altijd al een sukkel geweest
Had een zwak voor een jongen met een gitaar en een drankje in zijn hand
Zijn woorden waren als de hemel in mijn orkaan
Mijn knieën knikten onder
Ik dacht dat iedereen naar me keek
watching you save my life with the song
[Pre-Chorus]
Je was van mij
In het achterhoofd
Oh, alleen voor een nacht
Gewoon voor een tijdje
[refrein]
There’s always one that gets away
Degene die je besluipt en dan wegglipt
[Verse 2]
Two weeks later I was sitting in his apartment
He was making cappuccino
Ik zei, “Wat voor man maakt cappuccino?”
We lachten.
We lachten.
We lachten.
We lachten tot de tranen over mijn gezicht liepen
Oh, maar mijn man, je bent iemand anders zijn man
En dat is niet de man die ik wil
Maar je blijft me aantrekken
With those big brown lyin’ eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
But you’ll always be mine
In the back of my mind
Oh, we hadden een nacht
Just a little while
[Chorus]
There’s always one that gets away
Degene die je besluipt en dan wegglipt
[Brug]
In een afgesloten hoekje van mijn hart, ja
I’ll always see your face
Degene die weg is gegaan (Degene die wegging)
The one that got away (The one that got away)
Oh, the one that got away (The one that got away)
Oh, the one that got away (The one that got away)
Oh, the one that got away
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Oh
[Verse 3]
Ik ben geen slachtoffer van clichés
Ik geloof niet in zielsverwanten
Happy endings only one
Oh en ik ontmoette jou en dat veranderde allemaal
Ik had een voorproefje en je bent nog steeds
Sitting on the tip of my tongue
[Pre-Chorus]
Je was van mij
Ergens in de tijd
Ik zal je eerst zoeken
In mijn volgende leven
[Chorus]
There’s always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you then slips away
Glipt weg
[Brug]
In een afgesloten hoekje van mijn hart
Ja, ja, ja, ja
I-Ik zal altijd je gezicht zien
The one that got away (The one that got away)
The one that got away (The one that got away)
Oh, the one that got away (The one that got away)
Oh, the one that got away (The one that got away)
The one that got away
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, ja
The one that got away
