Just Once Lyrics - Quincy Jones

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 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 

We could just get to it 

I know we could break through it 

H-m-m-m-m 

I gave my all 

But I think my all may have been too much 

Lord knows we're not getting anywhere... 

Seems we're always blowing 

Whatever we got going 

And 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 

Where are we going wrong? 

Just once 

Can we find a way to finally make it right? 

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 come back to goodbye 

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 we find a way to finally make it right? 

Whoa 

Make the magic last for more than just one night 

Know we could break through it 

If we could just get to it 

Just once... 

Whoa 

We could get to it...
