  
 
 
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 ought to stay 
Or head on out for 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 
To make the magic last for more than just one night 
If we could just get to it  
I know we could break thru 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 blowin'  
whatever we've got going  
And it 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 long, 
Where are we going 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 thru 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'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 thru it 
If we could just get to it  
Just once 
 
We can get to it  
Just once
