The One That Got Away (U.S. Album Version)

[Intro]

I need, need, a

Ooh, yeah

I need, need, a hook

[Verse 1]

Would you spare me a minute, give me a single chance

To look in your eyes, let me hold your hand?

I want to get close enough to read you, understand you

Open up your heart, open up your mind

Nobody needs another stalker in your life

I'm only here to help you learn to love me, to know me

[Chorus]

I need a hook so you won't be the one that got away

I need a look that stuns you, makes you want to stay

Don't wanna speak in case it comes out wrong

Don't wanna blink 'cause in the second, you could be gone

I need a twist to help me turn, turn this story around

I need a bridge to cross this dangerous ground

Meet me in the middle like I want you to

I gotta find your heart to shoot my arrow through

[Verse 2]

Did you see me staring, uh, you caught my eye?

Don't turn around, don't walk away

The night is young, can we get together? Ooh

Got so many questions, feelings I can't explain

We're worlds apart, don't even know your name

I'm longing to give you my heart

[Chorus]

I need a hook so you won't be the one that got away

I need a look that stuns you, makes you want to stay

Don't wanna speak in case it comes out wrong

Don't wanna blink 'cause in the second, you could be gone

I need a twist to help me turn, turn this story around

I need a bridge to cross this dangerous ground

Meet me in the middle like I want you to

I gotta find your heart to shoot my arrow through

[Bridge]

Turn around (Don't evaporate)

Like you never came (Turn around)

Don't be a ghost forever never there to haunt me

Sliding doors, they aren't just on a train

We're alone on a platform in the rain

There's a chance and it won't come again

Turn around, your whole life has changed

[Chorus]

I need a hook so you won't be the one that got away (Oh)

I need a look that stuns you, makes you wanna stay

Don't wanna speak in case it comes out wrong

Don't wanna blink, 'cause in that second, you could be gone (Oh)

I need a twist to help me turn, turn this story around

I need a bridge to cross this dangerous ground (I need a bridge)

Meet me in the middle like I want you to

I gotta find your heart to shoot my arrow through

[Outro]

I need a hook

Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah

Oh, turn around

Turn around
