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’t we figure out what we keep doin' wrong |
| Why we never last for very long |
| What are we doin' 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 through it |
| (Hmm hmmmm) |
| 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’t 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 |
| (Bridge) |
| 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 (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… |
| Arranged by Quincy Jones. |
