JUST ONCE／JAMES INGRAM 歌詞

歌：JAMES INGRAM

作曲：Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil

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 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'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 thru 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 blowin'
Whatever we've 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 very long
Where 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 thru it
If we could just get to it, just once

I want to understand
Why it always come to good-bye
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?
To make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break thru it
If we could just get to it, just once
