You got your head in your supper And the eyes of your mother, baby Locked on you Everybody wants a piece of you, oh yeah And your phone keeps ringing Cause your cousin's singing at the local bar Everybody wants to be a star Just like you are
You kept your face in the gutter for years Kept your eyes on the road You always felt you were meant for me Baby now you know
Everybody wants a glimpse of the one that got away Everybody wants to see you And everybody wants to be you too It's funny how they put you down But now they think you're alright And everybody loves you now that You're the one that got away (the one that got away)
See you were raised in the town Where the kids hang around the pizza hut parking lot Everybody talks a lot, no one likes to do, no And all the cub scout leaders at the local theaters Said you couldn't sing a song that well You told 'em all to go to hell And went out on your own
You got a head shot picture to Sell yourself to the world You tucked your scars up under your dress Like an American girl
Everybody wants a glimpse of the one that got away Everybody wants to see you And everybody wants to be you too It's funny how they put you down But now they think you're alright And everybody loves you tonight You're the one that got away, yeah
Everybody wants a glimpse of the one that got away Everybody wants to see you And everybody wants to be you too It's funny how they put you down But now they think you're alright And everybody loves you now that You're the one that got away
Everybody wants a glimpse of the one that got away Everybody wants to see you And everybody wants to be you too It's funny how they put you down But now they think you're alright And everybody loves you now that You're the one that got away (the one that got away
