He Got Away

He Got Away - Lucy Woodward

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 Oh

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
