Just Once (New Version)

I did my best

But I guess my best wasn't good enough

'Cause here we are back where we were before

Seem nothing ever changes

We're back to being strangers

Wondering if we ought to stay

Or head on out the door

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 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

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 we figure out what we keep doing wrong

Why the good times never last for long?

Where are we going wrong?

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

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

Whoa, 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

Whoa

We can get through it

Just once
