I Know Him So Well
[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?
[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
(Looking back I could have played it some other way)
Learned about the man before I fell
(I was just a little careless)
But I was ever so much younger then
(Maybe)
Now at least I know I know him well
(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
[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
