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

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 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 doing wrong

Why the good times never last for long

Where're we going wrong

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

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 could break through it, if we could just get to it

Just once

I know we can get through it

Just once
