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 Learned a little more before I fell But it took time to understand the man Now at least I know I know him well. FLORENCE: SVETLANA: Wasn't it good? Oh so good Wasn't he fine? Oh so fine Isn't it madness He can't be mine? He can't be mine? But in the end he needs A little bit more than me More security He needs his fantasy And freedom 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: SVETLANA: Looking back I could Looking back I could Have played things Have played it Some other way. Differently. Won a few More moments Who can tell? I was just a little Careless -- maybe. But I was Ever so much Now at least Younger then. I know him well. Now at least BOTH: I know I know him well. SVETLANA: FLORENCE: Wasn't it good? Oh so good Wasn't he fine? 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? FLORENCE: SVETLANA: Wasn't it good? Wasn't he fine? Isn't it madness He won't be mine? He won't be mine? But in the end he needs a Little bit more than me More security He needs his Fantasy and freedom I know him so well It took time to understand him BOTH: I know him so well.
