I Know Him So Well
~Whitney Houston~






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
Learned a little more before I fell
But it took time to understand the man
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?.....     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.....     Looking back I could
Have played things.....     Have played it
Some other way.....     Differently
Won a few
More moments
Who can tell?
I was just a little
Careless...  maybe
But I was
Ever so much
Now at least.....     Younger then
I know him well.....     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 won'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 good?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness
He won't be mine?.....     He won'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
It took time to understand him
I know him so well
