Quincy Jones Lyrics
"Just Once"
(feat. 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 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?
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 anywhere
Seems we're always blowing whatever we've got going
And it 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 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 it, if we could just get to it just once
I want to understand
Why it always comes back to good-bye?
Why can't we get ourselves in 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?
Oh 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

Letra de "Sólo Una Vez"
Letras de Quincy Jones
"Sólo Una Vez"
(feat. James Ingram)
Hice lo mejor que pude, pero supongo que lo mejor que hice no fue suficiente
Porque aquí estamos de vuelta donde estábamos antes
Parece que nada cambia, volvemos a ser extraños
Preguntándonos si deberíamos quedarnos o salir por la puerta
¿Sólo una vez no podemos averiguar qué estamos haciendo mal?
¿Por qué nunca duramos mucho? ¿Qué estamos haciendo mal?
¿Sólo una vez no podemos encontrar una manera de finalmente hacerlo bien?
Para que la magia dure más de una noche
Si pudiéramos llegar a eso, sé que podríamos superarlo
Lo di todo, pero creo que todo lo que di puede haber sido demasiado
Porque Dios sabe que no estamos llegando a ninguna parte
Parece que siempre estamos arruinando lo que tenemos
Y parece a veces que con todo lo que tenemos, no tenemos ni una oración
¿Sólo una vez no podemos averiguar qué estamos haciendo mal?
¿Por qué los buenos tiempos nunca duran mucho? ¿Dónde nos estamos equivocando?
¿Sólo una vez no podemos encontrar una manera de finalmente hacerlo bien?
Para que la magia dure más de una noche
Sé que podríamos superarlo, si pudiéramos llegar a eso sólo una vez
Quiero entender
¿Por qué siempre volvemos a decir adiós?
¿Por qué no podemos controlarnos?
Y admitir el uno al otro que no somos buenos sin el otro
Tomar lo mejor y mejorarlo, encontrar una manera de permanecer juntos
¿Sólo una vez no podemos encontrar una manera de finalmente hacerlo bien?
Oh, hacer que la magia dure más de una noche
Sé que podríamos superarlo si pudiéramos llegar a eso
Sólo una vez
Oh, podemos llegar a eso
Sólo una vez
