The One I Crave
[Verse 1:]I saw him at the corner storeHe gave me candy,I came back for moreI asked for his name,He said call me J for JamesHe was 6'2 lots of style,He had the recipe to make you smileBut he got too popular with the girlsSo I erased him from my world
The next boy was cute and shyBut he never really looked me in the eyeSecretive I was intriguedHe was sweet, his name was Pete (Sweet Pete)First time that he took me out,I didn't know what to talk aboutSo I took the initiativeAnd told Pete he had to leave
[Chorus:]So I'm back to square oneWith Mr Good For Nothing JohnEver since he brought me down,I can't get off the groundIt's not like I don't try,And I'm pretty easy on the eyeBut the one I really crave,Is the one that got awayWith each boy he gets worse,But I'm still stuck on the firstReally hate to say,I want the one that got away
[Verse 2:]He's the star of the football team,Can be found in every girl's dreamWe've been talking for a while,You could say that he's on trialBut whenever we're alone,His jaw's like a gramophoneWhen he goes off the field,With him goes his appeal
[Chorus:]So I'm back to square oneWith Mr Good For Nothing JohnEver since he brought me down,I can't get off the groundIt's not like I don't try,And I'm pretty easy on the eyeBut the one I really crave,Is the one that got awayWith each boy he gets worse,But I'm still stuck on the firstReally hate to say,I want the one that got away
[Bridge:]Here she goes again,With another boy on her handsWord goes aroundReal fast in this small townAll these rumors like I'm a stark,Just wanna findSomeone to give my heartNo luck with James, Pete or the football studNone of them can compareNone of them can compareTo my John
[Chorus:]It's not like I don't try,And I'm pretty easy on the eyeBut the one I really crave,Is the one that got awayWith each boy he gets worse,But I'm still stuck on the firstReally hate to say,I want the one that got away
I want the one that got away
