Katy Perry – The One That Got Away Song Words
[Verse 1:]
Summer after high school,
When we first met
We make-out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th birthday, we got matching tattoos
Used to steal your parents’ liquor and climb to the roof
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never planned that one day I’d be losing you
[Chorus:]
In another life, I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
[Verse 2:]
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
No one without the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, woah
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown, singing the blues
It’s time to face the music, I’m no longer your muse
[Chorus:]
But in another life, I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
The one, the one, the one
The one that got away
[Bridge:]
All this money can’t buy me a time machine, no
Can’t replace you with a million rings, no
I should have told you what you meant to me, woah
‘Cause now I pay the price

[Chorus:]
In another life, I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
The one (the one), the one (the one), the one (the one)
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
