One By One Lyrics - Melanie C

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 

Want to feel my moment, who can tell? 

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'd 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 

(I was just a little careless maybe) 

But I was ever so much younger then 

(I was 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 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
