Chess In Concert - 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 Wasn't he fine? Oh, so fine. Isn't it madness? Both: 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. Florence: Looking back, I could Looking back, I could Have played it differently. Have played it some other way. Learned about the man Before I fell. I was just a little careless, But I was ever Maybe. So much younger then. I was so much younger then. Now at least I know I know him well. I know I know him well. Wasn't it good? Oh, so good. Wasn't he fine? Oh, so fine. Isn't it madness? Both: 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? Both: 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. Both: I know him so well.
