The 1 That Got Away/No Shoes - Victor Kwesi Mensah, Charlie Wilson

I can’t see it coming down my eyes

But I gotta let this song cry

I gotta let you know this 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 having my son

But after one too many van tours to endure

Illusions of grandeur, I left you hanging just like a jury

You were my first love, and you just became secondary

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

And that’s ass backwards, I know

Like an asthmatic who smoke

I flashback to the laughs we shared, broke as a joke

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

Backstage at On The Run tour

And I’m there with my girl

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

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

That shit went to my head like a Sudafed

I used to drive a 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

Tryna be known in this music mess

I left the one that knew me best, I left the one that knew me best

Let’It l meet birdwthe adle (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 (Just)

Five eight, six feet with the heels on

Used to be my rhythm but we lost the tempo

Even when I’m writing, tell me what I did wrong

Treat me like I’m gone every time I get on

Remember when I put you in that new Benzo?

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

Should’ve kept your ass in the fuckin' friend zone

Maybe I was in a different time zone

'Cause I can’t find the time for you, let you tell it

Know I woke up blind for you

I never change my mind for you, it’s true

Just to keep my eyes on you

But you love to run your mouth, don’t you?

I would run a mile

When you know I’d run a mile for you, with no shoes

I’m addicted to you baby, oh

'Dicted to you baby, addicted to you baby, oh
