A classic! Just Once by James Ingram (Newer version)
Lyrics:
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've 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 good times
never last for very long
What are we doing wrong?
Just once
can't we find a way to
finally make it right?
And 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 comes
back to goodbye
Why can't we give
ourselves a hand?
And admit to one another
We're no good without 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?
Woh, 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

Woh, we could get to it
just once

This song means so much to me. Well more to my parents I guess. My parents never got married, but they were together for me and my sister's sake, but eventually we seperated. I never get to see my dad much, because he has multiple families. Crazy I know. Anyways, whenever I visited my dad, he always sang this song. & when he sang, I always imagined him singing to my mom. It makes me miss him so much.

We figured out "what was wrong!" He had been cheating on me and he WAS TOLD that that wouold be the "deal breaker!" I sent him packing!!! I am now free of him and living my own life! :) SOME things are not worth "ending up together!" It "stung and stunned" me but, that only lasted about a month. I'd rather be by myself than to be with a "cheating SOB!" :)
