I Know Him so Well

I Know Him so Well - Chess In Concert

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 move

My world to be with him

Still the gap between us

Is too wide

Looking back I could

Have played it differently

Learned about the man

Before I fell I was just a little careless

But I was ever 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
