Lyrics
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 we figure out what we keep doin' wrong Why we never last for very long What are we doin' wrong? Just once Can we find a way to finally make it right Make the magic last for more than just one night 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 we figure out what we keep doin' wrong Why the good times never last for long Where are we goin' wrong? Just once Can 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 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 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... We can get to it... Just Once... cBarry Mann/Cynthia Weil
