For this week’s Song Lyric Sunday, I am going with the Marmite girl – Katy Perry. So many of her songs I cannot stand, and yet, some of her tracks are fabulous. Today I have chose a song of hers that I really do like. As always, her videos tell a memorable story.
I just really like this one. It is a great tune and enjoyed the story. “The One That Got Away” was written by Katy Perry, Lukasz Gottwald and Max Martin.
Summer after high school when we first met
We’d make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos
Used to steal your parents’ liquor and climb to the roof
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never planned that one day I’d be losing you
In another life
I would be your girl
We’d keep all our promises
Be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
Never one without the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the blues
It’s time to face the music, I’m no longer your muse
But in another life
I would be your girl
We’d keep all our promises
Be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The one
The one that got away
All this money can’t buy me a time machine, no
Can’t replace you with a million rings, no
I should’ve told you what you meant to me
‘Cause now I pay the price
In another life
I would be your girl
We’d keep all our promises
Be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The one, the one
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away

She always tells a story. Some of her songs I love, others make me cringe.

Nice choice Jenna and I agree with you that Katy Perry does make great videos. Is that Johnny Cash singing at the end of this video?

I should watch the ending. She really likes telling a story. I think she can be very creative, but some of her work is too much for me.
