Lyrics Just Once - Sonny Rollins

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 changeswe're back to being strangers
Wondering if we ought to stay or head on out the door
Just oncecan't we figure out what we keep doing wrong
Why we never last for very long
What are we doing wrong.
Just oncecan'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 through it.
Ohh
I gave my heartbut I think my heart may have been too much
'Cause lord knows we're not getting anywhere
Seems we're always blowingwhatever we've got goingand it seems at times with all we've gotwe haven't got a prayer...
Just oncecan't we figure out what we
Keep doing wrong
Why the good times never last for long
Where are we going 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
I know we could break through itif we could just get to it(Bridge)Just once
I want to understand... why it always comes back to goodbye;
Why 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 once... can't we find a way to finally make it right
To make the magic last for more than just one night
I know we could break through itif we could just get to itJust Once...
Ohhhh, we can get to itJust Once...
