I Know Him So Well Lyrics - Singles - Chess

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally 

Perfect situations must go wrong 

But this has never yet prevented me 

From wanting far too much for far too long 

Looking back I could have played it differently 

Won a few more moments, who can tell? 

But it took time to understand the man 

Now at least I know I know him well 

Wasn't it good? (Oh so good) 

Wasn't he fine? (Oh so fine) 

Isn't it madness he won't be mine 

But in the end he needs a little bit 

More than me, more security (He needs his fantasy and freedom) 

I know him so well 

No one in your life is with you constantly 

No one is completely on your side 

And though I move my world to be with him 

Still the gap between us is too wide 

Looking back I could have played it differently 

(Looking back I could have played things some other way) 

Learned about the man before I fell 

(I was just a little careless, maybe) 

But I was ever so much younger then 

Now at least I know I know him well 

Wasn't it good? (Oh so good) 

Wasn't he fine? (Oh so fine) 

Isn't it madnessHe won't be mine? 

Didn't I know 

How it would go 

If I knew from the start 

Why am I falling apart? 

Wasn't it good 

Wasn't he fine 

Isn't it madness He won't be mine? 

But in the end he needs a little bit 

More than me, more security (He needs his fantasy and freedom) 

I know him so well 

It took time to understand him 

I know him so well
