I KNOW HIM SO WELL - Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson - Whitney Houston & Cisty Houston - Nothing it 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, Learned about the man before I fell, 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 it 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 fantasies 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 him is too much.

lyrics

Nothing it 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,
Learned about the man before I fell,
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 it 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 fantasies 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 him is too much.

Looking back I could have played it differently,
One or a few more who can tell,
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 it fine
(Oh so fine)
Isn't it madness
He can't be mine.

Didn't I know,
How it would go from the start If I knew,
Why am I falling apart.

Wasn't it good
Wasn't it 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 fantasies and freedom.
I know him so well.

It took time to understand him.

"I Know Him So Well" is a duet from the concept album and subsequent musical Chess by Tim Rice, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. It was originally sung by Elaine Paige (as Florence) and Barbara Dickson(as Svetlana). In this duet, two women – Svetlana, the Russian chess champion's estranged wife, and Florence, his mistress – express their bittersweet feelings for him and at seeing their relationships fall apart.
