James Ingram - Just once - new version lyrics

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 a 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 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 getting anywhere Seems we're always blowing whatever we got going 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 doing wrong Why the good times never last for long Where're we going 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 come back to good-bye 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 I know we can get through it Just once
