Just once-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 ought to stay
Or head on out the door


Just once
Can we figure out what we keep doing wrong
Why we've never last for very long
What are we doing wrong


Just once
Can 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

I gave my all
But I think my all may have been too much
'Cause Lord knows we're not getting any where
Seems we're always blowing
Whatever we got going
And it seems at times with all we're got
We haven't got a prayer

Just once
Can we figure out what we keep doing wrong
Why the good times never last for long
Where are we going wrong

Just once
Can 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 it
If we could just get to it
Just once


I want to understand why it always comes back to goodbyes
Why can't we give ourselves a hand and admit to one another
We're no good without each other
Take the best and make it better
Find a way to stay toghther


Just once
Can 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 it
If we could just get to it

Just once


Oh we can get to it
Just once




中譯：

我盡了全力　但我想還是不夠好　
因為一切又回到了原點　看起來萬物依舊 我們又變成了陌生人　
懷疑自己該不該留下　或是轉頭就走


再一次就好　讓我們了解到底是哪裡出了錯　
為什麼沒有堅持到永久　我們做錯了什麼

再一次就好　我們終究能找出彌補的方法　
能讓奇蹟在這一晚再一次出現
只要我們有機會的話　我知道我們能克服這一切



我給出所有　但我想我給過了頭　
因為連上帝都知道我們哪兒都到不了　
我們都累了 不管努力的是什麼　
看起來我們該得到的　我們最後卻連個祝福都沒有



再一次就好　讓我們了解到底是哪裡出了錯　
為什麼美好時光不長久　我們做錯了什麼

再一次就好　我們終究能找出彌補的方法　
能讓奇蹟在這一晚再一次出現
我知道我們能克服這一切　只要我們能有機會再來一次的話


我想要知道為何到頭來都是要說　
為什麼我們不能試著給自己機會承認彼此
沒有了解對方就不算圓滿　
試著讓一切變更美好　找到出路讓彼此相守



再一次就好　我們終究能找出彌補的方法　
能讓奇蹟在這一晚再一次出現
我知道我們能克服這一切　
只要我們能有機會　再來一次的話　

噢　我們可以有機會　再來一次的的話
