Benny Andersson - I Know Him So Well lyrics

[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 Wasn't it good? [SVETLANA] Oh so good [FLORENCE] Wasn't he fine? [SVETLANA] Oh so fine [FLORENCE] Isn't it madness? [FLORENCE/SVETLANA] 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 Looking back I could have played it differently [FLORENCE] Looking back I could have played it some other way [SVETLANA] Learned about the man before I fell [FLORENCE] I was just a little careless maybe [SVETLANA] But I was ever so much younger then [FLORENCE] Now at least I know him well [SVETLANA] Now at least I know I know him well [SVETLANA] Wasn't it good? [FLORENCE] Oh so good [SVETLANA] Wasn't he fine? [FLORENCE] Oh so fine [SVETLANA] Isn't it madness [SVETLANA/FLORENCE] 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 [SVETLANA/FLORENCE] 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 [FLORENCE/SVETLANA] I know him so well
