Quincy Jones – Just once

Quincy Jones – Just once

I did my bestBut I guess my best wasn’t good enough‘Cause here we are back where we were beforeSeems nothing ever changesWe’re back to being strangersWondering if we oughta stayOr head on out the door
Just onceCan we figure out what we keep doing wrong?Why we never last for very longWhat are we doing wrong?Just onceCan we find a way to finally make it right?To make the magic last for more than just one nightWe could just get to itI know we could break through it
I gave my allBut I think my all may have been too muchLord knows we’re not getting anywhereSeems we’re always blowingWhatever we got goingAnd it seems at times with all we’ve gotWe haven’t got a prayer
Just onceCan we figure out what we keep doing wrong?Why the good times never last for longWhere are we going wrong?Just onceCan we find a way to finally make it right?To make the magic last for more than just one nightI know we could break through itIf we could just get to it just once
I want to understandWhy it always come back to goodbyeWhy can’t we get ourselves in hand?And admit to one anotherWe’re no good without each otherTake the best and make it betterFind a way to stay together
Just onceCan we find a way to finally make it right? WhoaTo make the magic last for more than just one nightI know we could break through itIf we could just get to it just once
We could get to itJust once
