I Know Him So Well Lyrics

Benny Andersson, Tim Rice, and Bjorn Ulvaeus
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

 FLORENCE:                 SVETLANA:
 Wasn't it good?          
Oh so good
 Wasn't he fine?           Oh so fine
 Isn't it madness
 He
can't be mine?         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.
 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:   
                    SVETLANA:
 Looking back I could             Looking back
I could
 Have played things               Have played it
 Some other way 
                 Differently
                                  Learned about
the man
                                  Before I fell
 I was just a
little
 Careless maybe                   But I was
                      
           Ever so much
 I was so much younger then       Younger then
   
                              Now at least
 BOTH:
 I know I know him
well
 SVETLANA:                        FLORENCE:
 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?
 FLORENCE:     
                 SVETLANA:
 Wasn't it good?
 Wasn't he fine?
 Isn't it
madness
 He won't be mine?               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
 BOTH:
 I know him so well
