  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
