Nothing is so good it lasts eternally,
Perfect situations must go wrong,
But this have never yet prevented me,
Wanting far to much,
For far too long,

Looking back I could have played it differently,
Won a few more moments who can tell,
But it took time to understand men,
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 madness 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 [bad word] on your side,
And though I'd move my world to be with him,
Still the gap between us is too wide,

Looking back I could have played differently,
Won a few more moments who can tell,
(I was just a little girl)
But I was ever so much younger then,
(So much younger then)
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 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 he good,
Wasn't he fine,
Isn't it madness 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 men,
I know him so well.
