I Know Him so Well - Chess In Concert

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.
