21.04.2020 um 13:44 h P!nk - The One That Got Away

P!nk vorzustellen spare ich mir; ich glaube, nach zwanzig Jahren auf der Bühne muss man keine Worte mehr über ihre Erfolge verlieren. Das Stück "The One That Got Away" von 2006 gehört aber eher zu ihren unbekannten Stücken, und das möchte ich heute ändern. Sie spricht von einem "Lagerfeuer-Song" und tatsächlich reicht eine Gitarre als Begleitung völlig aus. Zeit, sich mal auf den Gesang zu konzentrieren, denn der hat es wahrlich in sich...

Ach...und es ist keine Coverversion des Katy-Perry-Titels...der kam erst vier Jahre danach heraus und hatte lediglich den gleichen Namen.

Oh, oh
I stood by the exit door of the hotel cafe
He was playing with his band
I've always been a sucker
Had a weakness for a boy with a guitar and a drink in his hand
His words were like heaven in my hurricane
My knees buckled under
I thought everyone was watching me
Watching you save my life with the song
You were mine
In the back of my mind
Oh, just for one night
Just for a while
There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you then slips away
Two weeks later I was sitting in his apartment
He was making cappuccino
I said, 'what kind of man makes cappuccino?'
We laughed
We laughed
We laughed
We laughed till tears ran down my face
Oh, but, my man, you're someone else's man
And that ain't the man that I want
But you keep drawing me in with those big, brown, lying eyes
You'll always be mine
In the back of my mind
Oh, we had a night
Just a little while
There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you then slips away
In a closed off corner of my heart, yes
I'll always see your face
The one that got away
One that got away
The one that got away
The one that got away
Oh, the one that got away
The one that got away
Oh, the one that got away
The one that got away
Oh, the one that got away
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Oh
I'm not a victim of cliches
I don't believe in soul mates
Happy endings, only one
Oh, and I met you, and all that changed
I had a taste, and you're still sitting on the tip of my tongue
You were mine
Somewhere in time
I'll look for you first
In my next life
There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you then slips away
Slips away
In a closed off corner of my heart, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I, I'll always see your face
The one that got away
The one that got away
The one that got away
The one that got away
Oh, the one that got away
The one that got away
Oh, the one that got away
The one that got away
The one that got away
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
The one that got away
