just once

i did my best, but i guess my best wasn't good enough, cause here we are, back where we were before, seems nothin' ever changes, we're back to being strangers, wondering 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 very long, what are we doin' 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 think my all may have been too much, cause lord knows we're not gettin' anywhere, seems we're always blowin', whatever 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 good times never last for long, where are we goin' 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 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, 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. whoa oh, we can get to it, just once.
