[Elton John:]
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?
[Elton John:]
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
[Elton John:]
I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of shift in a star
But I know the truth and it haunts me
I learned it a little too late
[Elton John:]
I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
It's flown just a little too far
[Janet Jackson:]
People have 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
[Janet Jackson:]
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
[Janet Jackson:]
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 too late
[Janet Jackson:]
I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
I learned it a little too late
[Elton John and Janet Jackson:]
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 too late
[Elton John and Janet Jackson:]
I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
I learned it a little too late
