Just Once - James Ingram & Quincy Jones

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 oh 

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 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 goodtimes 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 just once 

I want to understand 
Why it always come back to goodbye 
Why can´t we get ourselves in hand 
And admit to one another 
That 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 oh 
Make the magic last for more 
Than just one night 
I know we can break through it 
If we could just get to it just once oh 
If we could get to it 
Just once...
