            THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

I know I'm empty handed, and I don't like to brag a lot
But let me tell you a story, about the kind of luck I've got
I swear that it's the truth - you can believe it or not

     You should've seen the one that got away
     Silky hair, bedroom eyes, and a great pair of legs
     I thought I had her hooked by the look on her face
     But she twisted and turned and escaped
     You should've seen the one that got away

I'd already caught my limit, but I just had to reel her in
She was a real free spirit, she played my line, then let me win
But when she saw my net, she slipped back to sea again

     You should've seen the one that got away
     Silky hair, bedroom eyes, and a great pair of legs
     I thought I had her hooked by the look on her face
     But she twisted and turned and escaped
     You should've seen the one that got away

     You should've seen the one that got away
