I Know Him So Well (chess) Lyrics - Encore - Elaine Paige

(FLORENCE) 

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 

(FLORENCE) 

Wasn't it good? 

Wasn't he fine? 

Isn't it madness 

He can't be mine?

(SVETLANA) 

Oh so good 

Oh so fine 

He can't be mine? 

(FLORENCE) 

But in the end he needs 

A little bit more than me -- 

More security 

(SVETLANA) 

He needs his fantasy 

And freedom 

(FLORENCE) 

I know him so well. 

(SVETLANA) 

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.

(FLORENCE) 

Looking back I could 

Have played things 

Some other way 

(SVETLANA) 

Looking back I could 

Have played it 

Differently 

Learned about the man 

Before I fell 

(FLORENCE) 

I was just a little 

Careless maybe 

(SVETLANA) 

But I was 

Ever so much 

Younger then 

Now at least 

(FLORENCE) 

Now at least 

I know him well 

(BOTH) 

I know I know him well 

(SVETLANA) 

Wasn't it good? 

Wasn't he fine? 

Isn't it madness 

(FLORENCE) 

Oh so good 

Oh so fine 

(BOTH) 

He won't be mine? 

Didn't I know 

How it would go? 

If I knew from the start 

Why am I falling apart? 

(SVETLANA) 

Wasn't it good? 

Wasn't he fine? 

(FLORENCE) 

Isn't it madness 

He won't be mine? 

(SVETLANA) 

He won't be mine? 

(FLORENCE) 

But in the end he needs a 

Little bit more than me -- 

More security 

(SVETLANA) 

He needs his 

Fantasy and freedom 

(FLORENCE) 

I know him so well 

(SVETLANA) 

It took time to understand him 

(BOTH) 

I know him so well
