Just Once

I did my best

But I guess my best wasn't good enough

'Cause here we are back where we were before

Seems nothing ever changes

We're back to being strangers

Wondering if we oughta stay

Or head on out the door

Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong

Why we never last for very long

What are we doing wrong

Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right

Make the magic last for more than just one night

If we could just get to it

I know we could break through it

I gave my all

But I think my all may have been too much

'Cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere

Seems we're always blowing whatever we got going

And seems at times with all we've got

We haven't got a prayer

Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong

Why the good times never last for very long

Seems we're always blowing

Whatever we got going

Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right

Make the magic last for more than just one night

If we could just get to it

I know we could break through it

Just once I want to understand

Why it always come back to good-bye

Why can't we get ourselves in hand

And admit to one another

That we're no good with out the other

Take the best and make it better

Find a way to stay together

Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right

Make the magic last for more than just one night

I know we can break through it

If we could just get to it

Just once

If we could get to it

Just Once...
