Love's like fishing in the ocean
Starve for days to catch a break
Waiting in that boat alone
The fish know something you don't
They told me there ain't many of us down here
All the good ones have been hooked
But I threw back the finest one
Now I'm the one who's been cooked
He got away, he got away
He got away, he got away
It's too late, my baby's gone
He got away, he got away
He got away, he got away
How'd I blow it, now I know that he's the one
But I took too long
Well, everybody's got a notion
Of how their story's meant to be
But I got blinded by the stars
And missed the part meant for me
Yes, I got all swept up with emotion
But it's too hot for me to face
Might've had a better plan
If I wasn't caught up in the chase
He got away, he got away
He got away, he got away
It's too late, my baby's gone
He got away, he got away
He got away, he got away
How'd I blow it, now I know that he's the one
But I took too long
Baby, he called me, baby
When we were planning our registry
In tennis doubles and in couple's therapy
I'd make a special kind of wish list for Christmas
In our casa suburbia
And all the neighbors would say
They can't possibly go to bed and read, oh
Oh, he got away, he got away
He got away, he got away
It's too late, my baby's gone
He got away, he got away
He got away, he got away
I could kick myself 'cause yeah, I was horribly wrong
He got away, he got away
He got away, he got away
It's too late, my baby's gone
He got away, he got away
He got away, he got away
How'd I blow it, now I know that he's the one
But I took too long
She took too long
Oh, whoa
Don't rub it in
She took too long
Don't rub it in
