The One That Got Away lyrics

[Verse 1: Jon Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora]
If I, I could be anyone
Could I, I be your only one?
If I, I could be anything
Could I be the secret you keep?
Breath that you breathe, be your dreams while you sleep?
If you, if you could read my mind
Then you, you'd now I'd crossed that line
I'd make you my Valentine
I can't let you go but I know that this ring is there to remind

[Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora]
So let's re-enact that scene
From what's-his-name's one act play
I'll be your hero
And you could be the one who got away

[Verse 2: Jon Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora]
Now I'm chasin' headlights back home
And you, you're sittin' there on your own
When we were sippin' martinis, I started believin' I wouldn't be leavin' alone
Well I told you a joke and you laughed
When I asked you to dance
You said, "There's no band, there's no radio"
I got up real slow, started singin' real low
When I was meltin' in your arms, I had to let go
[Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora]
So let's re-enact that scene
From what's-his-name's one act play
I'll be your hero
And you could be the one

[Bridge: Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, & Both]
Aw, if there was no tomorrow
There were no yesterdays (No yesterdays)
The stolen moments we've borrowed
We wouldn't let slip away

[Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora]
So let's re-enact that scene
From what's-his-name's one act play
I'll be your hero
So let's re-enact that scene until our dyin' day
I'll be the hero and you can the one
Yeah, you could be the one that got away

[Outro: Jon Bon Jovi]
Yeah, oh
Uh-huh
Ah, oh-oh-oh

[Guitar Solo: Jon Bon Jovi]
Oh
