Paroles de The one that got away

She calls herself virginia, though her mama named her jane.
I know why she does it, she's scared of being plain...
Her arms are always open like a sanctuary door,
She's got a way of makin me forget what i've been runnin for.
Shame what a shame that she's gonna be the one that got away from me.
Strange to look at her and see the one that got away from me.

Her face is like a picture someone painted years ago,
You can guess at what she's thinkin', but ya never really know,
Her heart is like a river runnin' wild, wide and deep,
It's always mine to borrow, but never mine to keep...
Shame what a shame that she's gonna be the one that got away from me.
Strange to look at her and see the one that got away from me.

Crazy i know, but i keep hoping one day, maybe, that i might change her mind.
Lately i get this sinkin' feelin' that it months it might be minutes, but i'm runnin' out of time.
What a shame! she's the one that got away...

I can't say for certain but i'd sure like to believe
That i could make her happy,
If she'd give that chance to me

Crazy i know, but i keep hoping one day, maybe, that i might change her mind.
Lately i get this sinkin' feelin' that it months it might be minutes, but i'm runnin' out of time.
What a shame! she's the one that got away...

Yeah... the one that got away from me
What a shame! the one that got away from me

Yeah she calls herself virginia but her mama named her jane
