"I Learned from the Best" is a 1999 single from American R&B/Pop singer Whitney Houston; the fifth and final single from Houston's multi-platinum 1998 album My Love Is Your Love.Billboard wrote that it is "a song that has most-added stamped all over it. Written by the ultimate pop/R&B scribe of the 1990s, Diane Warren, this gorgeous ballad will take fans old and new to that sacred territory that Whitney established back in the years of classics like "Saving All My Love For You" and "All The Man That I Need." But make no mistake; the Houston of today is a fully seasoned, well-traveled diva, leaving the wannabes in scattered remains with this spine-chilling performance. You'll be throwing your hands in the air over the wisdom she's gained in this tale of the strong woman who's breaking bad with her lessons about heartbreak. Producer/arranger David Foster, meanwhile, puts forth all that he's learned in the past two decades with a forceful instrumental package that borrows from his days of commandeering the horns-heavy Chicago through its comeback in the early 1980s. The three together—Houston, Warren, and Foster—simply can't miss in this stellar effort that brings together the best of their talents".The music video, directed by Kevin Bray, features Houston giving a concert performance of the song to a small intimate audience, as a man—presumably the ex-lover referenced in the song—watches with regret.It was filmed in Cologne, Germany, and was featured in the first season of MTV's Making the Video.

The lyrics:Did you really think that

I would really take you backLet you back in my heart

One more time? Oh, no no

Did you think I'd still careThat there'd be more feeling there?Did you think you could walk back

In my life? Oh

So you found you missed the love you threw awayBaby, but you found it out too late, too late

And so you know the way it feels to cryThe way that I cried when you broke my world in two

And baby I learned the way to break a heartI learned from the best, I learned from you

Oh baby, now, I learned from you

I remember cold nightsTears I thought would never dry

How you shattered my worldWith your goodbye, your goodbye, baby

Would've sold my soul thenJust to have you back againNow you are the last thing

On my mind

Now you say you're sorry and you've changed your waysSorry but you changed your ways too late

And so you know the way it feels to cryThe way that I cried when you broke my world in two

And baby I learned the way to break a heartI learned from the best, I learned from you

Oh baby, now, I learned from you

So when all you've got are sleepless nightWhen those tears are clouding up your eyes

Just remember it was youWho said goodbye, who said goodbye

And so you know the way it feels to cryThe way that I cried when you broke my world in two

And baby I learned the way to break a heartI learned from the best, I learned from you

Learned the way to break a heartI learned from the best, I learned from you

I learned from the best, I learned from yo
