Lyrics I Know Him So Well - Elaine Paige, Barbara Dickson

I Know Him So Well

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?
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 security.
He needs his fantasy and freedom.
I know him so well.
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
Learned about the man before I fell.
But I was ever so much younger then
Now at least I know
I know him well.
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 it good?
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 security.. ..
It took time to understand him.
I know him so well.
