I Bow Out Video (MV)

Benny Andersson, Tim Rice, and Bjorn 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

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
Learned about the man
Before I fell
I was just a little
Careless maybe But I was
Ever so much
I was so much younger then Younger then
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
