The One I Crave - Christina Grimmie

I saw him at the corner store

He gave me candy,

I came back for more

I asked for his name,

He said call me J for James

He was 6'2 lots of style,

He had the recipe to make you smile

But he got too popular with the girls

So I erased him from my world

The next boy was cute and shy

But he never really looked me in the eye

Secretive I was intrigued

He was sweet, his name was Pete (Sweet Pete)

First time that he took me out,

I didn’t know what to talk about

So I took the initiative

And told Pete he had to leave

So I’m back to square one

With Mr Good For Nothing John

Ever since he brought me down,

I can’t get off the ground

It’s not like I don’t try,

And I’m pretty easy on the eye

But the one I really crave,

Is the one that got away

With each boy he gets worse,

But I’m still stuck on the first

Really hate to say,

I want the one that got away

He’s the star of the football team,

Can be found in every girl’s dream

We’ve been talking for a while,

You could say that he’s on trial

But whenever we’re alone,

His jaw’s like a gramophone

When he goes off the field,

With him goes his appeal

So I’m back to square one

With Mr Good For Nothing John

Ever since he brought me down,

I can’t get off the ground

It’s not like I don’t try,

And I’m pretty easy on the eye

But the one I really crave,

Is the one that got away

With each boy he gets worse,

But I’m still stuck on the first

Really hate to say,

I want the one that got away

Here she goes again,

With another boy on her hands

Word goes around

Real fast in this small town

All these rumors like I’m a stark,

Just wanna find

Someone to give my heart

No luck with James, Pete or the football stud

None of them can compare

None of them can compare

To my John

It’s not like I don’t try,

And I’m pretty easy on the eye

But the one I really crave,

Is the one that got away

With each boy he gets worse,

But I’m still stuck on the first

Really hate to say,

I want the one that got away

I want the one that got away
