 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 oughta stay 
 Or head on out the door 
  
 Just once can't 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 
 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 think my all may have been too much 
 'Cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere 
 Seems we're always blowing whatever we got going 
 And seems at times with all we've got 
 We haven't got a prayer 
 Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong 
 Why the goodtimes never last for long 
 Seems we're always blowing 
 Whatever we got going 
  
 Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right 
 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 come back to good-bye 
 Why can't we get ourselves in hand 
 And admit to one another 
 That we're no good with out the 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 
 Make the magic last for more than just one night 
 I know we can break through it 
 If we could just get to it 
  
 Just once 
 If we could get to it 
  
 Just Once...
