(B. Andersson / T. Rice / B. Ulvaeus)

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

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

BOTH

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

BOTH

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

Wasn't it good? (FLORENCE: Oh so good)
Wasn't he fine? (FLORENCE: Oh so fine)
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?

SVETLANA

Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine

FLORENCE

Isn't it madness

BOTH

He won'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

It took time to understand him

BOTH

I know him so well.
