Just Once (By James Ingram)

I did it 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 thru it

I gave my all
But I think my all may have been to much,
'Cause Lord knows, we're not getting anywhere,
Seems we're always blowing
Whatever we've got going !
And seems at times with all we've got,
We haven't got a prayer

Chorus :
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't 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 thru it
If we could just get to it, just once
Who ! We can get to it
Just once
I want to understand
why it always come back to goodbye
why can't we get ourselves in hand
and admit to one another
we are no good without each other
take the best and make it better
find a way to stay another
