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
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
Where are we goin' wrong
Just once can't we find a way
to finally 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
I want to understand
Why it always
come 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 and make it better
Find a way to stay together
Just once can't we find a way
to finally 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
We can get to it Just once
