[English]

I heard him speak but then saw his face

I knew he was the one because I dreamt this day

I was such a beginner on this thing called love

And now he's going away and now I'm torn apart, so torn apart

You're one of them, you see me swear

You pullin' triggers let you slide another day

Say goodbye to the one that got away

Her lips were the very first thing that I saw

She flew like an angel and that made me want her more

My reputation says I'm there from love

And now she's going away and now I'm so torn apart, so torn apart.

You're one of them

You see me swear

You pullin' triggers let you slide another day

Say goodbye to the one that got away.

Never let you get away, shouldn've let you got away

Get away, got away, gotta find another way

Never let her get away

Gotta find a way to stay

Never let her get away

Never let her get away

Never let her go, you never let her go

Feels like

You see me? You hear me?

Hey!

Biddy bang bang bang

You're one of them, you see me swear

You pullin' triggers let you slide another day

Say goodbye to the one that got away.

Biddy bang bang bang

I say goodbye to

...
