She Got Away Lyrics

[Verse One: Liam & Harry]
I met this girl the other night
On the streets of New Orleans
She said I'm trying to find myself
On the run from Tennessee

She had a diamond in one ear
And patches on her jeans

Oh yeah, oh yeah, the girl she got to me

Jennie has a way with words
Yeah, she always speaks in quotes
She said that she ain't ever
Met a man like me before
She told me she just won a trip to Mexico
Oh yeah, oh yеah
On the radio
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Somеday she will go


[Chorus: All]
When I close my eyes
I swear that I can see her
Then they open wide
And she’s a world away

And I swear she’s mine
So does every man who meets her
Oh yeah, oh yeah
She’s the girl that got away
Oh yeah, oh yeah
But she’s coming back someday
[Verse Two: Harry & Niall]
Jennie likes a coffee late at night
It helps her sleep

She doesn't cook but
She's got a million recipes


She's got a tattoo
Doesn't know what it means
Oh yeah, oh yeah
When she was with me


[Chorus: all]
When I close my eyes
I swear that I can see her
Then they open wide
And she’s a world away

And I swear she’s mine
So does every man who meets her
Oh yeah, oh yeah
She’s the girl that got away
Oh yeah, oh yeah
But she’s coming back someday

[Bridge: all]
What I feel, what I feel, I feel for her
Ain't going away
What I feel, what I feel, I feel for her
Ain't going away
What I feel, what I feel, I feel for her
Ain't going away
What I feel, what I feel, I feel for her
Feel for her, feel for her
[Chorus: Liam & Zayn]
When I close my eyes
I swear that I can see her
When they open wide
She’s a world away


And I swear she’s mine
So does every one who meets her
Oh yeah, oh yeah

[Chorus: all]
When I close my eyes
I swear that I can see her
Then they open wide
And she’s a world away

And I swear she’s mine
So does every man who meets her
Oh yeah, oh yeah
She’s the girl that got away
Oh yeah, oh yeah
But she’s coming back someday

Oh yeah, oh yeah
She’s the girl that got away
(what I feel, what I feel, I feel for her, feel for her)
Oh yeah, oh yeah
But she’s coming back someday
(what I feel, what I feel, I feel for her, feel for her, feel for her)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
