[Whitney 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 done it differently
I 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
[Whitney & (Cissy)]
Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good)
Wasn't he fine? (Oh, so fine)
Isn't it...
[Both]
...Madness
He can't be mine?
[Whitney]
But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me
More security
[Cissy]
He needs his fantasy and freedom
[Whitney]
I know him so well
[Cissy]
No one in your life is with you constantly
No onе is completely on your side
And though I movе my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide
[Cissy & (Whitney)]
Looking back, (Looking back)
I could have played it differently (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
[Cissy & (Whitney)]
Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good)
Wasn't he fine? (Oh, so fine)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
[Both]
Didn't I know
How it would go?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling...
...apart?
[Whitney]
Wasn't it fine
[Both]
Isn't it madness?
He won't be mine?
[Whitney & (Cissy)]
But in the end, he needs a little more than before
More give me security, (he needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well
(It took some to understand him, yeah)
(But now)
[Both]
I know him so well, well
And so well, so well...
[Whitney]
Mrs. Cissy Houston everbody
