[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 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
[FLORENCE] Wasn't it good? Wasn't he fine? Isn't it madness He can't be mine?
[SVETLANA] Oh so good Oh so fine
He can't be mine?
[FLORENCE] But in the end he needs A little bit more than me -- More security
[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 move my world to be with him Still the gap between us is too wide.
[FLORENCE]
Looking back I could Have played things Some other way
[SVETLANA]
Looking back I could Have played it Differently
Learned about the man Before I fell
[FLORENCE] I was just a little Careless maybe
[SVETLANA] But I was Ever so much Younger then Now at least
[FLORENCE] Now at least I know him well
[BOTH] I know I know him well
[SVETLANA]
Wasn't it good? Wasn't he fine? Isn't it madness
[FLORENCE]
Oh so good Oh so fine
[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?
[SVETLANA]
Wasn't it good? Wasn't he fine?
[FLORENCE]
Isn't it madness He won't be mine?
[SVETLANA] He won't be mine?
[FLORENCE] But in the end he needs a Little bit more than me -- More security
