[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 foundOh noI never asked the questions
That trouble me today
I knew all was to know
Love worn lightly, put on show
My conquests on displayI can't believe he's changingAnd who'd have thought that confidence could die?Oh noNot me, not meNot me, not meThat all I took for granted was a lieOh noNot me, not me Not me,no not meAnd who'd have guessed I'd throw my world away
To be with someone I'm afraid will sayNot me, not meThis can never be[MEREB]
He's in love
But he's not the only one
Who'll be changed

[AMNERIS, spoken]
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
[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? And who'd have
