Not Me

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

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
I can't believe
He's changing

Oh, no

Not me not me


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, 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

Amneris and Aida
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 'til his dying day
Not me not me

Radames, Aida and Amneris
And who'd 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'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



Mereb
Not me not me


Not me not me





This can never be

Radames
Oh, not me
