Lyrics for Song: I Know Him So Well
Lyrics for Album: Whitney
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 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
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 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

I Know Him So Well
Whitney Houston's rendition of "I Know Him So Well" stands as a powerful testament to her vocal command and emotional depth. Featured on her 1987 self-titled second album, the track showcases her ability to interpret complex material with grace and intensity. Originally a show-stopping duet from the musical Chess, Houston's solo performance transforms the narrative into a solitary declaration of devotion. The recording highlights her signature belting style and dynamic range, cementing her status as a premier interpreter of dramatic pop and R&B ballads. This work remains a significant song in her extensive discography, reflecting the artistic maturity she displayed during the late 1980s. It serves as a reminder of her capacity to elevate theatrical material into mainstream chart success through sheer vocal prowess. |
