Just Once -- James Ingram

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 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 
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 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 Seems we're always blowing 
Whatever we got going
