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 the door

[Chorus]
Just once
Can 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 through it

I gave my all, but I guess my all may have been too much
'Cause, Lord knows, we're not getting anywhere
It seems we're always blowing
Whatever we've got going
It seems at times with all we've got
We haven't got a prayer

[REPEAT Chorus]
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 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, just once

Ohohoh
We can get it it
Just once
