I Know Him So Well

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good)

Wasn't he fine? (Oh, so fine)

Isn't it madness

He can't be mine?

But in the end he needs a little bit more than me—

More (She needs security)

He needs his fantasy and freedom

I know him so well

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

Looking back I could have (Looking back I)

Played it differently (Could have played things some other way)

Learned about the man before I fell (I was just a little careless)

But I was ever so much younger then (I was so much younger then)

Now at least I know I know him well

[Chorus]

Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good)

Wasn't he fine? (Oh, so fine)

Isn't it madness

He won't be mine?

Didn't I know

How it would go?

If I knew from the start

Why am I falling apart?

Wasn't he fine?

Isn't it madness

He won't be mine?

But in the end he needs a little bit more than me—

More (She needs security)

He needs his fantasy and freedom

I know him so well

[Outro]

It took time to understand him

I know him so well
