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 being strangers

Wondering 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

Make the magic last for more than just one night

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 gettin' 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 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 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 and 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, oh

We can get to it...

Just Once...
