james ingram - Just Once

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 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 goodtimes never last for very long
Seems we're always blowing
Whatever we got going

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

Just once I want to understand
Why it always come back to good-bye
Why can't we get ourselves in hand
And admit to one another
That we're no good with out 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
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
If we could get to it

Just Once...

If a girl cries in front of you,
it means that she couldn't take it anymore.
If you take her hand,
she'd stay with you
for the rest of your life;
If you let her go,
she couldn't go back to
be herself anymore.

A girl won't cry easily,
except in front of the person
whom she loves most.
She becomes weak.
A girl won't cry easily,
only when she loves you the most,
she puts down her dignity.

Guys,
if a girl cries because of you,
please hold her hands firmly,
because she's the one who is willing to
stay with you for the rest of your life.

Guys,
if a girl cries because of you,
please don't give her up.
Maybe because of your decision,
you ruined her life.
When she cries right in front of you,
Because of you,
look into her eyes,
can you see and feel the pain and hurt she's feeling?
Think.
Which other girl had cried with pure sincerity,
in front of you,
and because of you?
She cries not because she's weak,
She cries not because she wants sympathy or pity,
She cries,
because crying silently
is no longer possible,
the pain, hurt and agony have become
too big a burden to be kept inside.

Guys,
Think about it,
If a girl cries her heart out to you,
and all because of you,
its time to look back on what you have done,
only you will know the answer to it.

Do consider it,
Because one day,
it may be too late for regrets.
It may be too late to say "I'm sorry".
