[Elton]

How have I come to this?

How did I slip and fall?

How did I throw half a lifetime away

Without any thought at all?

This should've been my time

It's over, it never began

Facing a world, for once not on my side

I simply turned and ran

I try to blame it on fortune

Some kind of shift in a star

But I know the truth and it haunts me

Its flown just a little too far

I know the truth and it mocks me

I know the truth and it shocks me

Oh, Its flown just a little too far

Yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yes



[Janet]

People had faith in me

I think I once did too

I promise whoever has a hold on our lives

I'll see the bad times through

This should have been my time

It's over, it never began

Facing a world, for once not on my side

I simply turned and ran

I try to blame it on fortune

Some kind of twist in my fate

I know the truth and it haunts me

I learned it a little too late

I know the truth and it mocks me

I know the truth and it shocks me

I learned it a little too late



[Both]

I try to blame it on fortune

Some kind of twist in my fate

(But) I know the truth and it haunts me

I learned it a little, a little too late

I know the truth and it mocks me

I know the truth and it shocks me

Oh, oh, yeah, I learned it a little too late



[Elton]

Yeah-e-yeah



[Janet]

Yes I did, ooh
