Not Me

Not Me is the Tenth song in Elton John's and Tim Rice's musical Aida

Lyrics
Radames (Mereb): I once knew all the answers

I stood on certain ground

A picture of true happiness

A confidence so effortless

No brighter could be found (Oh no...)

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 (I can't believe he's changing)

And who'd have thought that confidence could die? (Oh no)

Not me, Not me (Not me, not me)

That all I took for granted was a lie (Oh no)

Not me, Not me (Not me, not me)

And who'd have guessed I'd throw my world away

To be with someone I'm afraid will say

Not me, not me? (This can never be)

Mereb: He's in love

But he's not the only one

Who'll be changed

Amneris: ''Why hasn't Radames come to see me again? We're to be married in three days, and yet... Aida, I must make things right with him.''

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 & Amneris: And who'd have thought a love could be so good?

Not me, not me

And show me things I never understood

Not me, not me

And 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 (Mereb): And who'd have thought a love could be so good? (No good)

Not me, not me (Not me, not me)

My/his secrets & my/his passions understood (No good)

Not me, not me (Not me, not me)

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

To be with someone 'til my/his dying day?

Not me, not me (This can never be)

Radames: Not me

Oh, not me
