Cissy Houston - I Know Him So Well lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 needs a little more than before Security He needs his fantasy and freedom I know him so well [Verse 2] 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 Learned about the man before I fell But I was ever so much younger then Wasn't it good (oh, so good) Wasn't it fine (so fine) Isn't it madness he can't be mine [Bridge] Didn't I know how it would go If I knew from the start Why am I falling apart [Chorus] 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
