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?
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´t we figure out what we keep doing wrong?
Why the good times never last for long? Where are we going 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 good-bye?
Why can´t we get ourselves in hand?
And admit to one another we´re no good without the 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?
Oh 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
Oh we can get to it
Just once
