How I Know You
 
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Tim Rice
Performed by Damian Perkins and Heather Headley

Mereb
I grew up in your hometown
At least I began to grow
I hadn't got to my first shave
Before the body blow
Egyptians in the courtyard
My family in chains
You witnessed our abduction
Which possibly explains
How I know you
How I know you

Before that fateful morning
My family enjoyed
A privileged existence
For my father was employed
As advisor to the King no less
Which surely rings a bell
For as you are his daughter
You probably can tell
How I know you
Yes I know you

Aida
You know too much and what you say
Is better left unknown
And now I'm just a slave like you
Our lives are not our own

Mereb
I never have abandoned
And nor I think could you
That spark of hope for freedom
No terror can subdue

Aida
My only hope is silence
You've never seen my face

Mereb
No you remain a princess
In any time or place

Aida
You don't know me

Mereb
Yes I know you

Aida
You don't know me

Mereb
How I know you
How I know you
