I Know Him So Well

I Know Him So Well - Elaine Paige (憶蓮·佩姬)

Written by：Benny Andersson/Björn Ulvaeus/Tim Rice

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 then

Now at least I know I know him well

Wasn't it good oh so good

Wasn't it fine oh so fine

Isn't it madness

He won't be mine

But in the end

He needs a little beat more than be

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've played it differently

Learned about the man before I fell

I was just a little pal

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 it fine oh so fine

Isn't it madness

He won't be mine

Did I know

How it would go

If I knew from the start

Why am I falling apart

Wasn't it good wasn't it fine

Isn't it madness

He won't be mine

But in the end

He needs a little beat more than be

More security

He needs his fantasy and freedom

I know him so well

It took time to understand him

I know him so well
