Started out in high school
When we first met
Then I stole your shirt that said Radiohead
And on my 16th Birthday
I got a tattoo of you

Used to steal your boxers
And climb to the roof
Staring from the window
But you had a clue
Never planned that one day
I'd be losing you

If I had a knife
I would be your girl
But you always said
"Go away,you make me hurl"

If I had a knife
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away

I was in a ring of fire,like Johnny Cash
I stole your cat,but that back-lashed
Sometimes when I miss you
I put your shirts on

And when you got that sick appendix removed
I stood by your bedside,you weren't amused
Resistance is useless
Yet you got me accused

But if I had a knife
I would be your girl
I'd be your Joyce Matthews
And you my Milton Berle

If I had a knife
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 o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]
The one that got away

All your other girlfriends hated me (Nooooo)
Nonetheless I wanted to be with thee (Nooooo)
Made a scrapbook from your hair,see? (Whoaaaaa)
Some may have some lice

If I had a knife
I would be your girl
You would be my bathroom
And I your Moaning Myrtle

If I had a knife
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 o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]

If I had a knife
You'd never go astray
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
