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
Ooh.. We can get to it..
Just Once...
