The 1 That Got Away/No Shoes (feat. Charlie Wilson)

I can't see it comin' down my eyes

But I gotta let this song cry

I gotta let you know it's been on my mind for a long time

But the cat had my tongue

When we were young I told my dogs

You should be havin' my son

But after one too many van tours to endure

Illusions of grandeur, I left you hangin' just like a jury

You were my first love and you just became secondary

I was busy chasin' **** like Tom runnin' from Jerry

And that's **** backwards, I know

Like an asthmatic who smoke

I flash back to the laughs that we shared broke as a joke

Not a care in the world, together we prepared for the world

Backstage and on the run tourin' I'm there with my girl

By my side when I signed my deal, wavin' hi to them dollar bills

We couldn't buy a meal, now I was worth about a mil'

That **** went to my head like a Sudafed

I used to drive your car to move my Buddha

Now they know my name in Budapest

My money got older, I grew up less

And I do confess I broke your heart

Like a sledgehammer through the chest

Tryin'a be known in this music mess

I left the one that knew me best

I left the one that knew me best

Let's hit rewind a little

(Can we go back?) Go back in time just a little

When you were mine a little

(Can we go?) Just like old times just a little

(Die a little)

(Each time I cry just a little)

(Each day I die a little)

Love you for all time

For you I can find the time

For you

5'8", six feet with the heels on

Used to be my rhythm but we lost the tempo

Even when I'm right tell me what I did wrong

Treat me like I'm gone every time I get home

Remember when I put you in that new Benz, oh

How you gon' be mad that I'm off a benzo

Shoulda kept your **** in the **** friend zone

Maybe I was in a different time zone

'Cause I can find the time for you

(Know I would go blind for you) Let you tell it

I never changed my mind for you

(Just to keep my eyes on you) It's true

But you loved to run your mouth though

(I would run a mile) When you know I'd run a mile for you

With no shoes (I'm addicted to you, baby)

(Addicted to ya, baby, addicted to ya, baby)

(Oh, oh, yeah)
