Just Once - James Ingram

 

 

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 for door

 

Just on-ce

Can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong

Why we never last for very long

What are we doing wrong

 

Just on-ce

Can't we find a way

to finally make it right

To make the magic last for more than just on-e 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 on-ce

Can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong

Why the good times never last for long,

Where are we going wrong

 

[Chorus]

Just on-ce

Can't we find a way

to finally make it right

To make the magic last for more than just on-e night

I know we could break thru it

If we could just get to it

 

Just on-ce

I want to understand

Why it always comes back to goodbye

Why can't we get ourselves in hand

And admit to on-e another

We're no good without each other

Take the best and make it better

Find a way to stay together

 

[Chorus]

Just on-ce

Can't we find a way

to finally make it right

To make the magic last for more than just on-e night

I know we could break thru it

If we could just get to it

 

Just on-ce Wow

We can get to it

Just on-ce
