Lyrics
0:14I did my best
0:16But I guess my best wasn't good enough
0:20'Cause here we are back where we were before
0:26Seems nothin' ever changes
0:30We're back to bein' strangers
0:33Wonderin' if we ought to stay
0:36Or head on out the door
0:42Just once
0:44Can we figure out what we keep doin' wrong
0:52Why we never last for very long
0:57What are we doin' wrong
1:02Just once
1:04Can we find a way to finally make it right
1:11To make the magic last for more than just one night
1:18If we could just get to it
1:21I know we could break through it
1:29Hmm hmm
1:38I gave my all
1:40But I think my all may have been too much
1:44'Cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere
1:50Seems we're always blowin'
1:54Whatever we've got goin'
1:57And it seems at times with all we've got
2:00We haven't got a prayer
2:06Just once
2:08Can we figure out what we keep doin' wrong
2:15Why the good times never last for long
2:21Where are we goin' wrong
2:26Just once
2:28Can't we find a way to finally make it right
2:35To make the magic last for more than just one night
2:41I know we could break through it
2:45If we could just get to it
2:47Just once
2:50I want to understand
2:55Why it always comes back to goodbye
3:01Why can't we get ourselves in hand
3:08And admit to one another
3:11We're no good without each other
3:15Take the best to make it better
3:18Find a way to stay together
3:22Just once
3:24Can we find a way to finally make it right
3:29Whoa
3:31Make the magic last for more than just one night
3:37I know we could break through it
3:40If we could just get to it
3:43Just once
3:51Whoa ohh
3:53We can get through it
3:59Just once
I did my best But I guess my best wasn't good enough 'Cause here we are back where we were before Seems nothin' ever changes We're back to bein' strangers Wonderin' if we ought to stay Or head on out the door Just once Can we figure out what we keep doin' wrong Why we never last for very long What are we doin' wrong Just once Can 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 hmm 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 blowin' Whatever we've got goin' And it seems at times with all we've got We haven't got a prayer Just once Can we figure out what we keep doin' wrong Why the good times never last for long Where are we goin' 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 to make it better Find a way to stay together Just once Can 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 ohh We can get through it Just once
