Carly Paoli - I Know Him So Well

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
