[Elaine]
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.

[Elaine]Wasn't it good?
[Barbara]Oh so good.

[Elaine]Wasn't he fine?
[Barbara]Oh so fine.

[Elaine]Isn't it madness,
[Both]He can't be mine?

[Elaine]But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me,
More security.

[Barbara]He needs his fantasy and freedom.
[Elaine]I know him so well.

[Barbara]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.

[Barbara]Looking back I could have played things differently.
[Elaine]Some other way.

[Barbara]Learned about the man before I fell.
[Elaine]I was just a little careless maybe.

[Barbara]But I was ever so much younger then.
Now at least [Both]I know I know him well.

[Barbara]Wasn't it good?
[Elaine]Oh so good.

[Barbara]Wasn't he fine?
[Elaine]Oh so fine.

[Barbara]Isn't it madness,
[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?

[Barbara]Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?

[Elaine]Isn't it madness,
[Both]He won't be mine?

[Elaine]But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me,
More security.

[Barbara]He needs his fantasy and freedom.
[Elaine]I know him so well.

[Barbara]It took time to understand him.
[Both]I know him so well.
