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 nothin' ever changes
We're back to bein' strangers
Wonderin' if, we ought to stay
Or head on, out the door
Just Once...
Can we figure out, what we keep, doin' wrong
Why, we never last for very long
What are we doin' wrong?
Just once...
Can we find a way, to finally make it right
To make the magic last, for more than just one night
If we, could just get to it
I know we could, break through it
hmm-hmm...

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 blowin'
Whatever, we've got goin'
And it seems at times, with all we've got
We haven't, got a prayer
Just once...
Can we figure out, what we keep doin' wrong
Why the good times, never last for long
Where are we goin' wrong
Just once...
Can't we find a way, to finally make it right
To 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 comes back ...to goodbye
Why... can't we get ourselves in hand
And admit to one another
We're no good, without each other
Take the best, to make it better
Find a way, to stay together
Just once...
Can we find a way, to finally make it right
(whoa!)
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...
...Whoa-ohh
We can get through it...
Just ...Once
