Not Me

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Tim Rice
Performed by Adam Pascal, Damian Perkins, Heather Headley, and Sherie Rene Scott


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

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

Radames And who'd have thought that confidence could die? 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? Not me, not me

Mereb Oh, no Not me, not me Oh, no Not me, not me This can never 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 

Amneris & Aida
And who would have thought that love could be so good?
Not me, not me
And show me things I never understood?
Not me, not me
And who would have guessed he'd throw his world away
To be with someone till his dying day?
Not me, not me

Radames, Aida & Amneris And who would have thought that love could be so good? Not me, not me My/his secrets and my/his passions understood? Not me, not me Who would 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 So good Not me, not me Oh, no Not me, not me This can never be Not me, not me
