Lyrics

[Intro: Background Vocalists] We didn't know, we didn't know [Verse 1: Whitney Houston & Stevie Wonder] Since I don't know when We've been only friends No more, but no less Our friendship we had at best A voice to console An ear to confide That someone you tell Your deepest of feelings inside [Chorus 1: Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, (Background Vocalists)] But we didn't know (We didn't know, we didn't know) When we held each other It would feel so right We didn't know (We didn't know, we didn't know) On that night we'd be falling in love I looked at you You looked at me In ways we never thought we would be But like tomorrow's today's mystery We didn't know Oh yeah We didn't know, we didn't know We didn't know, we didn't know [Verse 2: Stevie Wonder & Whitney Houston] Be it big, be it small On you I could call Nothing but to ask You'd be right there in a flash A hand I could hold That friend I could trust But the love that we shared Was just platonic between us [Chorus 1: Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, (Background Vocalists)] 'Cause we didn't know (We didn't know, we didn't know) When we held each other It would feel so right We didn't know (We didn't know, we didn't know) On that night we'd be falling in love I looked at you You looked at me In ways we never thought we would be But just like tomorrow's today's mystery We didn't know [Bridge: Whitney Houston & Stevie Wonder] That's what happens When innocent friends Turn serious lovers And we're so happy that We've fallen in love And still can be best of friends, yeah Ooh [Spoken Interlude: Stevie Wonder & (Whitney Houston)] Best of friends (Best) Or more We didn't know, we didn't know [Verse 2: Stevie Wonder & Whitney Houston] When they'd break your heart And when they'd make you cry We both would confer You should give love one more try We've searched everywhere For true love to find Yet who'd think it was us That we were longing for all the time? [Chorus 2: Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, (Background Vocalists), Both] 'Cause we didn't know (We didn't know, we didn't know) Ooh no, when we held each other It would feel so right We didn't know (We didn't know, we didn't know) Oh no no On that night we'd be falling in love I looked at you And you looked at me In ways we never thought we would be But just like the future No one can see We didn't know [Chorus 1: Whitney Houston & Stevie Wonder, (Background Vocalists), Both] Oh, we didn't know (We didn't know, we didn't know, didn't know) When we held each other It would feel so right We didn't know (We didn't know, we didn't know) oh no baby On that night we'd be falling in love I looked at you And you looked at me In ways we never, ever thought that we could be But like tomorrow's today's mystery We didn't know [Outro: Background Vocalists] We didn't know, we didn't know We didn't know, we didn't know
