I Know Him So Well (Duet with Barbara Dickson) - From "Chess"

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
 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'd move my world to be with him
 Still, the gap between us is too wide
 Looking back (looking back), I could have played it differently (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, 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
 He needs his fantasy and freedom
 I know him so well
 It took time to understand him
 
 I know him so well
