Just Once
James Ingram

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't we figure out what we keep doin' wrong?
Why we never last for where we long?... what are we doin' 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 through it

I gave my all but I think my all may have been too much
'Cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere
It seems we're always blowin' what ever 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 goodtimes never last for long?... where are we goin' wrong?

(Chorus) 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
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

..... repeat (Chorus) .....

Just once... woh,... we can get to it... just once
