(duet with cissy houston)

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



Chorus:

Wasn’t it good, wasn’t it fine

Isn’t it madness, he can’t be mine

But in the end, he need a little bit more than before

Security (he needs fantacy and freedom)

I know him so well....



No one in your life is with you constantly

No one in completely on your side,

And though I move my world to be with him

Still the gap between us is too wide...

Looking back, I could’ve played it 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, wasn’t it 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...



Chorus



It took some time to understand him

I know him so well
