I Know Him So Well (Live at HBO’s from Washington, D.C, 1997) Lyrics
[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
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?
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
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
