I Know Him So Well Lyrics - Elaine Paige

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally 

Perfect situations must go wrong 

But this has never yet prevented me 

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 can'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'd move my world to be with him 

Still the gap between us is too wide

Looking back 

(Looking back) 

I could have played it differently 

(I could have played it some other way) 

Learned about the man 

Before I fell 

(I was just a little careless) 

But I was ever so much younger then 

(Maybe, 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 madness 

He 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
