He Got Away

Woodward Lucy

Love's like fishing in the ocean 
Starve for days to catch a break 
Waiting in that boat alone 
Fish know something you don't 
They told me there aren'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 
It's too late my baby's gone 
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 the 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 of had a better plan 
If I wasn't caught up in the chase 

He got away, he got away 
It's too late my baby's gone 
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 the neighbors would say that they can't possibly go 
To bed and read 

He got away, he got away 
It's too late my baby's gone 
He got away, he got away 
I could kick myself, 'cuz yeah, I was horribly wrong 
He got away, he got away 
It's too late my baby's gone 
He got away, he got away 
How'd I blow it, now I know that he's the one 
But I took too long 

Don't rub it in 
Don't rub it in
