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

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
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...Ohhhh
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.....
Ohhhh, we can get to it
