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 long
|
Where are we goin' wrong
|
|
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 could break through it
|
If we could just get to it Just once
|
|
I want to understand
|
Why it always come 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
|
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
|
|
We can get to it
|
Just once
|
