Elaine Paige ft. Barbara Dickson - I Know Him So Well Lyrics

Nothing it 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
Learned about the man before I fell
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 fantasies 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 him is too much

Looking back I could have played it differently
One or a few more who can tell
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 madness?
He can't be mine

Didn't I know
How it would go from the start if I knew
Why am I falling apart?

Wasn't it good?
Wasn't it 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 fantasies and freedom
I know him so well

It took time to understand him
I know him so well
