Just Once

Quincy Jones and JamesIngram

I did my best

But i guess my best wasn't good enough

'Cause here me 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 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

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 give ourselves a 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 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
