Barbara Dickson - I Know Him So Well

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 move my world to be with him

Still the gap between us is too wide

Looking back I could have played it differently

(Looking back I could have played things some other way)

Learned about the man before I fell

(I was just a little careless maybe)

But I was ever so much younger then

(Much younger then)

Now at least I know him well

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
