i did my best
but i guess my best wasnt
good enough
cause here me are back
where we were before
seems nothing ever changes
were 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 were
not getting anywhere
seems were always blowing
whatever we got going
and it seems at times
with all weve got
we havent 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
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 cant we give ourselves a hand
and admit to one another
were no good without each other
take the best and make it better
find a way to stay together
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
oh we can get to it
just once
