There were Dtwo old A7middle aged Dmen,
They were Dsittin , in the A7corner Dbar.
They were all Bmlying about what Gwonderful lovers they Dare.
Bending each F#mother's ears,
Bending their Delbows too.
Holding their Bmarms apart
The way that E7fishermen do, singin'
(CHORUS)
You sDhould have seen the A7one that got away,
Oh you sDhould have seen the A7one that got Daway.
There were two old middle aged women,
And they were sitting in the beauty salon.
Waiting for their nails to dry,
And puttin' each other on.
Trading their recipes,
All of the ways to save
A hundred and one night stands
With a brand new permanent wave, singin'
(REPEAT CHORUS
Hindsight makes the heart grow fonder,
But that's what it costs
When you run around sayin' "I love you"
With your fingers crossed.
And it's too late to go back now
And that's just about as good as it gets,
For Rock'N'Roll Romeos and their juke box Juliets.
And you can see them out on the street
Trying to figure out what it all means.
When they try to make their lives complete
In the safety of their dreams.
By putting their arms around the one that got away.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
