I Know Him So Well

Carly Paoli & Elaine Paige with David Foster

Elaine:
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 things 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

Elaine:
Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness?
He can't be mine?
Carly:
Oh so good
Oh so fine
He can't be mine?
Elaine:
But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me --
More security
Carly:
He needs his fantasy
And freedom
Elaine:
I know him so well.

Carly:
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.
Elaine:
Looking back I could
Have played things
Some other way
Carly:
Looking back I could
Have played it
Differently
Learned about the man
Before I fell
Elaine:
I was just a little
Careless maybe
Carly:
But I was
Ever so much
Younger then
Now at least
Elaine:
Now at least
I know him well
Carly & Elaine:
I know I know him well

Carly:
Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness
Elaine:
Oh so good
Oh so fine
Carly & Elaine:
He won't be mine?
Didn't I know
How it would go?
If I knew from the start
Elaine:
Why am I falling apart?
Carly:
Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
Elaine:
Isn't it madness
He won't be mine?
Carly:
He won't be mine?
Elaine:
But in the end he needs a
Little bit more than me --
More security
Carly:
He needs his
Fantasy and freedom
Elaine:
I know him so well
Carly:
It took time to understand him
Carly & Elaine:
I know him so well
