Just Once Lyrics - Dancing In The Dark - 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...
