Der Songtext "I Know Him So Well" von "Chess" beschreibt die komplexen Gefühle und Erfahrungen zweier Frauen, Florence u...

FLORENCE:
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
One 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 (FLORENCE)
Oh so good (SVETLANA)
Wasn't he fine (FLORENCE)
Oh so fine (SVETLANA)
Isn't it madness (FLORENCE)

He can't be mine (BOTH)

But in the end he needs a little bit more than me, more security (FLORENCE)

SVETLANA:
He needs his fantasy and freedom

FLORENCE:
I know him so well

SVETLANA:
No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I moved my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide

Looking back I could have played it differently (SVETLANA)
Looking back I could have played things some other way (FLORENCE)
Learned about the man before I fell (SVETLANA)
It was just a little careless maybe (FLORENCE)
But I was ever so much younger then (SVETLANA)
I was so much younger then (FLORENCE)
Now at least I know (SVETLANA)
I know him well (BOTH)

Wasn't it good (SVETLANA)
Oh so good (FLORENCE)
Wasn't he fine (SVETLANA)
Oh so fine (FLORENCE)
Isn't it madness (SVETLANA)

BOTH:
He won't be mine
Didn't I know how it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart (FLORENCE)
Wasn't it good (SVETLANA)
Wasn't he fine (SVETLANA)
Isn't it madness (FLORENCE)

He won't be mine (BOTH)

But in the end he needs a little bit more than me, more security (FLORENCE)

He needs his fantasy and freedom (SVETLANA)

I know him so well (FLORENCE)
It took time to understand him (SVETLANA)
I know him so well (BOTH)
