I Know Him So Well (Duet With Cissy Houston) Songtext / Lyric

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



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 bit more than before

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

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 it fine (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 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

It took some to understand him

Hoo ooh I know him so well
