Not Me (Aida)

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 till 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 and my/his passions understood

Not me, not me (Mereb: Not me, not me)



Who'd have guessed I'd/he'd throw my/his world away

To be with someone till my/his dying day

Not me, not me (Mereb: This can never be)
