Lyrics
0:14I did my best but I guess my best wasn't good enough
0:20'Cause here we are back where we were before
0:26Seems nothing ever changes we're back to being strangers
0:34Wondering if we oughta stay or head on out the door
0:43Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong
0:52Why we never last for very long What are we doing wrong
1:03Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right
1:12To make the magic last for more than just one night
1:19If we could just get to it I know we could break through it
1:39I gave my all but I think my all may have been too much
1:45'Cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere
1:52Seems we're always blowing whatever we've got going
1:58And it seems at times with all we've got we haven't got a prayer
2:08Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong
2:17Why the good times never last for long Where are we going wrong
2:28Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right
2:37To make the magic last for more than just one night
2:44I know we could break through it if we could just get to it just once
2:53I want to understand
2:57Why it always comes back to good-bye
3:03Why can't we get ourselves in hand
3:10And admit to one another we're no good without the other
3:17Take the best and make it better find a way to stay together
3:24Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right
3:32Oh make the magic last for more than just one night
3:40I know we could break through it if we could just get to it
3:46Just once
3:54Oh we can get to it
4:02Just once
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 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 good-bye Why can't we get ourselves in hand And admit to one another we're no good without 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 could break through it if we could just get to it Just once Oh we can get to it Just once
