lyrics

i've been working all day trying to keep my instincts under control
so let me say i found a better way of rockin your soul
i wanna knock you off your feet although you're watching from your seat
will you stop me if i read for the role?

i'm auditioning for the part of the man who steals your heart
and i've got my lines down good
i got a face for hollywood
and no other leading man could be a truer bluer fan of your work
you're the one who got away
and it's the role i was born to play

you shrug and you sigh, 'i guess let's get this over with'
you highlight all of my lines and you toss me over the script
and you clap and then say action and i gasp and freeze and panic
and i swear this never happens
that's it

that's how i lost the part of the man who steals your heart
i choked and missed my shot
can't even say i gave it all i got
now some other leading man is gonna do it for the money and run
but it's the role i was born to play
and it's the one that got away
