| 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…
