[Verse 1]
Used to be the richest
But I didn't pay attention
Messed around and maxed out of love
So now my hearts empty
I used to wake up daily
In the arms of a blessing
Couldn't see what was right in front of me
It taught me a lesson
Went around here hittin' these clubs
Throwing up money, picking up girls
Bring 'em back to the house on the hill
Two at a time, pop 'em like pills
When my prize was sittin' at home
Waiting for me all along
Never thought that one day I'd come home (No)
And she'd be gone
[Chorus]
She was the one that got away
The one I regret
My biggest mistake
She was my Mrs. Wife
Miss I can spend my life
It's too late, now she's Ms. Mistake
She should've been my Mrs
Don't wanna move on, but I know that she has
Now every other I compare to her
She was my Mrs. Wife
Miss I can spend my life
It's too late, now she's Ms. Mistake
She should've been my Mrs
[Verse 2]
I'm not asking for what we had before
Took my loss like a man, it's over now, I understand
Oh, I messed up what we had
Oh, could've been the mother of my kids
Oh, I knew just what I did
Now I gotta live with it
See, you really didn't take that long
The lies got old, the bed got cold
Shut her heart up, closed the door
Told me no, not no more
So I gotta respect her wishes
She deserves more than I've given
And I'll probably be okay if I can get her out of my brain
[Chorus]
She was the one that got away
The one I regret
My biggest mistake
She was my Mrs. Wife
Miss I can spend my life
It's too late, now she's Ms. Mistake
She should've been my Mrs
Don't wanna move on, but I know that she has
Now every other I compare to her
She was my Mrs. Wife
Miss I can spend my life
It's too late, now she's Ms. Mistake
She should've been my Mrs
[Bridge]
Mrs. Settle down
No more sleepin' around
Mrs. Picket Fence
Mrs. Brand New House
But I screwed it up
I'm Mr. Out-of-Luck
Had a good one
Now she's got a new mister
If there's another out there that understands then help me say "Yeah, woah"
Anybody that knows you let her go and help say
"Ohh ohhh ohhh"
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
She was the one that got away (She was the one)
The one I regret
My biggest mistake
She was my Mrs. Wife (Hey)
Miss I can spend my life (Hey)
It's too late, now she's miss mistake (Hey)
She should've been my Mrs (Should've been my Mrs)
Don't wanna move on, but I know that she has (Don't wanna move on)
Now every other I compare to her (I compare to her)
She was my Mrs. Wife (She was my)
Miss I can spend my life (Miss I can spend my life)
It's too late, now she's Ms. mistake
She should've been my Mrs
[Outro]
Should've been my Mrs
Should've been my Mrs
Now it's too late
It's too late, it's too late
What am I gonna do, without you?
