[Intro] He talks about her all the time Says she was one of a kind Says he can still feel her pull And how she really wore him out I’ve heard enough. [Verse 1] He says she was the prettiest one He’d ever seen before Says he thought he had her But she slipped away once more He talks about her all the time Like some old love affair And every time he does I just know she’s out there [Pre-Chorus] He says she fought with him hard He says she made him sweat He says he thinks about that day And he ain’t over it yet [Chorus] Who is she? What does she look like? Why does my husband Talk about her every night? He says she was a beauty He says she almost stayed I’m getting real tired of hearing About the one that got away [Verse 2] He says he had her in his hands But she broke free that day He said his heart was pounding He can still feel that rush today He says she was strong as hell But he tried to hold her tight He swears if he’d been better He’d still have her tonight I said, “You sure do talk about her Like you miss her bad” He just smiled and shook his head And said, “Best I ever had” [Pre-Chorus] Now I’m starting to wonder How long this has been Who is this woman And where does she fit in? [Chorus] Who is she? What does she look like? Why does my husband Talk about her every night? He says she was a beauty He says she almost stayed I’m getting real tired of hearing About the one that got away [Verse 3] So I finally asked him, “Tell me who she is” He looked at me and laughed Like I had completely missed The point of all his stories The woman I had imagined He goes, “Baby, you know She’s the one I almost landed” I said, “Excuse me? Who do I know?” He pulled out his phone And showed me the screen There she was, midair Looking mighty mean [Bridge] I looked at the picture. Then I looked at him. Then I looked back at the picture. And I said… “That is NOT a woman.” [Band stop] He replied… “Baby… That’s a fish.” [fiddle burst] [Final Chorus] THAT’S the one that got away? THAT’S who you’ve been talking about? All these years I thought you had Some secret woman hanging around! You said she was a beauty You said you held her tight You said you’d never forget her And you still dream about that night He went, “She was a monster, honey You should’ve seen her size” I said, “I swear to God, baby… I wanted to slap a fish tonight!” [Outro] The one that got away! The one that broke his heart! The one he still remembers! Yeah. That’s the one that got away!
