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 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 through it I gave my all, but I guess my all may have been too much 'Cause, Lord knows, we're not getting anywhere It seems we're always blowing Whatever we've got going It seems at times with all we've got We haven't got a prayer [REPEAT Chorus] I know we could break through it If we could just get to it [BRIDGE] 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 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 Ohohoh We can get it it Just once
