[Verse 1: 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 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: Whitney Houston & (Cissy Houston), Both]
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
[Verse 2: Cissy Houston & (Whitney Houston)]
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
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: Whitney Houston & (Cissy Houston), Both]
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
[Verse 2: Cissy Houston & (Whitney Houston)]
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
