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
Wond`ring 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 doing wrong?

*Just once
Can`t we find a way to fin`lly 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 doin` wrong?
Why the good times never last for long?
Where are we going wrong?

**Just once
Can`t we find a way to fin`lly make it right?
To make the magic last 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

*

Wow
We can get to it
Just once
