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 we figure out what we keep doing wrong?
Why we never last for very long?
What are we doing wrong?
Just once can 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 we figure out what we keep doing wrong?
Why the goodtimes never last for long?
Seems we’re always blowing
Whatever we got going

Just once can we find a way to finally make it right?
Make the magic last for more than just one night?
I know we could break through it
If we could just get to 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 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
