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?
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
It seems we're always blowing
Whatever we've 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 very long
What are we doing wrong?
Just once
Can't we find a way to finally make it right?
And 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 comes back to goodbye
Why can't we give ourselves a hand?
And depend on one another
We're no good without each other
To make the best, to make it better
Find a way to stay together

Just once
Can't we find a way to finally make it right?
Woh, 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

If we could get to it
Just once

Just once
