The flowers that you chose were most unusual
For such a bright and sunny day
And all the ones who tried to reach you
All the things they want to teach you
You are the one who got away
The places you were in were so confining
You never found all that much to say
And the ones that you confided in
Were the ones who tried to turn you in
You are the one who got away
The style that you chose is most indifferent
You never worried much about taboo
And the things that made it hard for you
Are the things that make me wild about you
You are the one who got away
You are the one who got away
