James Ingram Just Once Lyrics

Just Once Lyrics

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've 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 very long

What are
we doing wrong?

Just once can't we find a way to finally make it
right?

And make the magic last for more than just one night

If we could
just get to it

I know we could break through it



Just once I want to
understand 

Why it always come back to good-bye

Why can't we get
ourselves in hand?

And admit to one another

That we're no good with out
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?

Make the magic last for more than just one night

I know we can
break through it 

If we could just get to it



Just once



If
we could get to it 



Just Once...
