Cissy & Whitney Houston

Songtekst

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long

Looking back I could have played 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 he fine? (Wasn't he fine?)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine

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

It took time to understand him
Ooohooo
I know him so well
