Not Me

Radames:
I once knew all the answers
I stood on certain ground
A picture of true happiness
Confidence so effortless
No brighter could be found
Mereb:
Oh No Radames:
I never asked the questions
That trouble me today
I knew all there was to know
Love worn lightly
Put on show
My conquests on display (Mereb:I can’t believe He’s changing)
And who’d have thought that (Mereb:Oh, no)
Confidence could die?
Not me, Not me (Mereb:Not me, not me)
That all I took for granted was a lie
Not me, Not me And who’d have guessed
I’d throw my world away
To be with someone I’m afraid will say (Mereb:This can never)
Not me, not me (Mereb:Be)
Mereb:
He’s in love
But he’s not the only one
Who’ll be changed
Aida:
I shall not envy lovers
But long for what they share
Amneris:
An empty room is merciless
Don’t be surprised if I confess
I need some comfort there
Aida and Amneris:
And who’d have thought
That love could be so good?
Not me, not me And show me things I never understood
Not me, not me Who’d have guessed he’d
Throw his world away
To be with someone til his dying day
Not me, not me Radames, Amneris, Aida:
And who’d have thought that love
Could be so good
Not me, not me (Mereb:Not me, not me)
My/his secrets &
My/his passions understood
Not me, not me (Mereb:Not me, not me)
Who’d have guessed
I’d/ he throw My/his world away
To be with someone til my/his dying day
Not me/not me (Mereb:This can never be)
