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

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 (Whoa!)

make it right...

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
