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 we figure out what we keep doing wrong

Why we never last for very long

What are we doing 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

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 we figure out what we keep doing wrong

Why the good times never last for long

What are we doing 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

Just once
