Just Once

(Album: Greatest Hits: The Power Of Great Music - 1991)

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
If we could just get to it
I know we could break through it
(Hmm hmmmm)

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'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 long
Where are 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 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 (Whoa)
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.....

Whoa oh, we can get to it

Just Once.....
