Whitney Houston, Cissy Houston - I Know Him So Well (Whitney) lyrics

Nothing is so good, it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
From wanting far too much for far too long
Looking back
I could have done it differently
Won a few more moments who can tell?
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know, I know him well

Wasn't it good? (Wasn't it good?)
Wasn't it fine? (Wasn't it fine?)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine?
But in the end
He needs a little bit more than before
Security (He needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well

No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide
Looking back (Looking back)
I could have played it differently
(Differently)
Learned about the man before I fell
But I was ever so much younger then
Now at least I know, I know him well

Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good)
Wasn't it fine? (So fine)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine?

Didn't I know how it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?

Wasn't it fine (Oh, wasn't it fine?)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine?
But in the end
He needs a little more than before security
He needs his fantasy and freedom
(I know him so well)

It took some to understand him hoo ooh
I know him so well
