Barbra Streisand
"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 One of 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 needsA little bit more than meMore She needs 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 differentlyCould have played things some other way. Learn about the man before I fellI was just a little carelessBut I was ever so much younger then. I was so much younger thenNow at least I know I know him wellWasn'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 he fine? Isn't it madness He won't be mine?But in the end he needs a little bit more than me More She needs security He needs his Fantasy and freedom I know him so well It took time to understand me I know him so well.
