I Know Him So Well

[FLORENCE]Nothing is so good it lasts eternallyPerfect situations must go wrongBut this has never yet prevented meWanting far too much for far too long.Looking back I could have played it differentlyWon a few more moments who can tellBut it took time to understand the manNow at least I know I know him well

[FLORENCE]Wasn't it good?Wasn't he fine?Isn't it madnessHe can't be mine?

[SVETLANA]Oh so goodOh so fine

He can't be mine?

[FLORENCE]But in the end he needsA little bit more than me --More security

[SVETLANA]He needs his fantasyAnd freedom

[FLORENCE]I know him so well.

[SVETLANA]No one in your life is with you constantlyNo one is completely on your sideAnd though I move my world to be with himStill the gap between us is too wide.

[SVETLANA]Looking back I couldHave played itDifferentlyLearned about the manBefore I fell

[FLORENCE]Looking back I couldHave played thingsSome other way

I was just a littleCareless

But I was Maybe Ever so much Younger then I was so much Now at least Younger then

[BOTH]I know I know him well

[SVETLANA]

Wasn't it good?Wasn't he fine?Isn't it madness

[FLORENCE]

Oh so goodOh so fine

[BOTH]He won't be mine?Didn't I knowHow it would go?If I knew from the startWhy 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 aLittle bit more than me --More security

[SVETLANA]He needs hisFantasy and freedom

[FLORENCE]I know him so well

[SVETLANA]It took time to understand him

[BOTH]I know him so well
