Just Once
~Quincy Jones & 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 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 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 goodtimes never last for very long
Seems we´re always blowing
Whatever we got going
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
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...
